What...a whirlwind!

So, its been a week since we have taken the time to give everyone an update on our little Nora! What in the world have we been doing? Well, if you keep reading, that's what I'll tell you...
So, a week ago today Momma Erin went back to work. It was very difficult to do and she had a few tears the first couple of days. But, thanks to Momma Karrie bringing Nora in and a few good friends at work, so far things are ok. Next week will be the big challenge when Nora starts "school". Anyway...we aren't thinking about that right now...
Momma Karrie and Momma Erin have officially registered to participate in the Iowa State Fairgrounds 5k on November 7th. We are currently in training and have found that run/walking at the fairgrounds is the best training. Nora loves riding around the fairgrounds in her stroller so much that she actually sleeps the entire time.
On Saturday, Nora made her first trip to Momma Erin's college alma mater. It was Graceland University's homecoming in Lamoni, so we made the trip down south. It was a very nice day out, other than the wind! Nora spent much of the time in her stroller wrapped in a blanket, but she did get to meet a few of both Momma's old friends. We were surprised that there weren't many people on campus...at least not as many as we thought there would be.
Momma Karrie had to work today (Tuesday), so Momma Erin had to stay home with Nora. She was very happy to do so! We brought Momma Karrie to work, then bundled up and went to the fairgrounds for today's training session. Nora must've been warm enough because she didn't make a sound the entire time, she just flinched a little when we hit the bigger bumps. After that, we headed home and got ready for the day. Momma Erin thought that Nora was ready to have another "photo shoot", but Nora didn't participate too well. We haven't reviewed the pictures, but there has to be a few "keepers"...


All bundled up for the crisp air at the fairgrounds

The following pictures are all from today's "photo shoot"...Nora wasn't too involved and even got sick of it by the last picture.
