Cora has become adept at riding her tricycle in recent weeks. For the longest time, she chose her scooter each time she played outside, and mainly went backwards when she got on the bike. But now, she is a cyclist.
On Friday evening we walked and she rode around the block, with a stop at the park for some swinging.
On Saturday, we went to Adrian's fourth birthday party. Cora was the only girl, but since most of the boys were a bit older, she had a great time. She played dinosaurs, a new thing for her, as that was the party theme. Brooke did a fabulous job on Adrian's chocolate-with-mint-icing dino cake.
Sunday morning was special, the first time our church has met at its brand-new location. This week, services were held in the grassy outdoor amphitheater, and next weekend will be the grand opening with services inside the auditorium. The church was born about eight years ago and met at the movie theaters for the first six or so years, and then moved to the high school 2 1/2 years ago, just after we started attending.
As things would work out, the weather turned cold and rainy Sunday morning, just in time for an outdoor service. It was gratifying to look around and see hundreds of others, in coats and under umbrellas, who didn't let the weather deter them from this long-awaited event.
After a shortened service, we all got to check out the new facility. Wow. It would make a great venue for a concert, Stace pointed out. We also found the bricks we bought for our girls on the front walkway. I would have loved to get Cora in this photo, but she didn't agree. We also found Duckie's brick - no photos yet since the brick has her real name, the one we aren't sharing quite yet.
Also this weekend, Stace decided to paint the playroom. We're attempting to make it blend in better with the rest of the house. Photos coming, when it's finished!
