MMMM.... Rice Cereal!

Today was Norah's first time trying out solid foods. The three of us had a really good time with it, and I think some even got into her mouth. It will be a process, but overall she did very well. She's such a big girl now!

We've Come a Long Way!

We had some big milestones at the McCoy house this past weekend. On Friday, Dan and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. We’ve come a long way in those five years! We have lived in three different states (plus one foreign country for Dan) and moved four times. Both of us have changed jobs at least once. After many years of apartment living, we bought a house. And most recently—and definitely most importantly—we became a family of three with Norah’s arrival. Through all of these changes our relationship has grown stronger. Though date nights out have now been replaced by bath time and movies at home, I love everything that our life together has become. I feel so blessed to be married to Dan and am looking forward to many more wonderful years together.

Wedding Day and 5th Anniversary

On Sunday Dan celebrated his 30th birthday. After a busy weekend of work events for both Dan and I, we were ready to have a nice relaxing family day at home. Dan did get to put in his birthday cake request—white Funfetti cupcakes with vanilla Funfetti frosting (I know, no chocolate!)—and Norah helped her Daddy open his presents and blow out his candles. She had a lot of fun with the wrapping paper—I can only imagine what Christmas is going to be like for her!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Now we’re all looking forward to the Thanksgiving break and a few days off to eat and spend time with family!

Happy Halloween (a little late)

Norah got to celebrate her very first Halloween. While she wasn’t up for too much trick-or-treating, dressing up was a lot of fun. Kristin put her creativity to work and made a duck costume. These pictures are sure to be used as blackmail when she gets a little older.

Norah loved all her Halloween outfits, as you can tell.

Sorry we haven't posted in a while. There will be more coming soon!
