Farting is fun.

Clearly the Kole Family is easy to entertain.

Our kid is awesome.

Sicky Poo.

Took this photo yesterday, but today looks about the same - snotty nose, crazy hair, and super sick eyes.

Norah and I are currently laying around, watching TV, and reading.  

Yesterday I made CC Muffins (from scratch!) to help us all feel better.  

They were seriously the best muffins I've ever made.

These were taken last week at the park.  Norah spoke her first "love" statement on her own.

"I love park, Mama."  Happy to know where I stand, dear one.

 Now a few silly picks, just to make me feel better (and hopefully to make you smile):

Norah babe, I hope we both feel better soon!

Hide and Seek

Norah's current favorite pastime!

Norah Translations:
"Ready or not. Here I come!"
"Mama in there?!"
"Found you, Mama!"

Put Me in the Zoo!

I've started a "Things I Want to Do on the East Coast" mental list.  MK and I have no idea where God will take us in the next few years... or if God will keep us here.  Right now, we both feel confident this is exactly where we are suppose to be.  I know that could change.  So, while we are here, I want to make sure we are taking full advantage of the great sites and adventures that New England has to offer.  The list is long, but last weekend we were able to check one item off the list...

York's Wild Kingdom in York, Maine!

Sitting in gross Maine vacation traffic, but still excited to be headed to the zoo!

MONKEYS!  The light haired monkey had a young baby clung to her.  Adorable.

On the path to see more animals, stopping OFTEN to see the ducks.

First picture - feeding the ducks.  I was certain Norah was going to jump in.  

Second picture - pointing out the porcupine.

GOATS!  

If it were up to her, Norah probably would have spent the WHOLE morning with the goats.

Despite Norah's scowl in these photos, she really did have a great time. 

(Clearly, Mama and Papa did too!)

"Norah Feeding a Deer"

(AKA a deer stealing the food out of my hands before I could give some to Norah.)

Our camera battery died just before we got to the Butterfly Garden.  The Butterfly Garden was amazing.  Definitely a hit with Norah Babe.

A good morning to be remembered.
