A lot has happened in six months, but that's also the very thing that keeps me from blogging - the growing pile of news to report. So, I'll keep the reporting to the most important item - Cora's birth, now six whole months ago!  To the right are the sisters on Easter. Cora could not be more of a blessing to our family. It's incredible how much she and her sister already love one another - without our prompting or encouraging, they have taken to each other in such a precious way. They make each other smile and giggle. It even sounds like Cora says "Ellie" once in a while, although we know it's just wishful thinking at this point.

The rest of the news - a new church start, the student center's zoning and flooding issues, Ellie's first year of preschool - are too detailed to blog; I'd be at it all day. I have been trying to write thank you notes for Ellie's birthday for the past month now - writing comes at a premium these days!
