Special treat

Cora is 15 months old!
She is enjoying the park in these photos, taken Friday morning after Stroller Strides. Shelly, our Stroller Strides leader, had a pre-Mother's Day celebration for all of us after class, so most of the moms stayed for the fun and the little ones played together on the playground and in the grass.
Shelly gave us all roses, which Cora enjoyed smelling (and then trying to eat).
The last photo shows Shelly setting out the breakfast she brought for us, and our surprise - free massages! In the photo, Elissa is getting her massage.
We also celebrated some new pregnancies at Stroller Strides today. It's a definite baby boom. My friend Sarah, Thomas's mom, is due in mid-November; Jill is due in early December; and Jamie is due in late December. Thomas turned one in April, Jill's daughter Mary will be two in July, and Jamie's daughter Gabriella is a week younger than Cora.
Sarah is the second of my new "mommy friends" to become pregnant again; Christy, William's mom, is due in October. Mother's Day this weekend will be even more special for these mothers!
