A Change in Plans

As many of you know, Grandma Sally's health did not improve and she passed away on April 20, 2010. So, on April 21 we boarded a plane (Nora's 9th roundtrip trip) and headed for Green Bay. We were quite excited to be aboard a non-stop flight from Denver to Green Bay-amazing!


After spending day after day at the hospital, Grandpa needed some play time when we arrived, and Nora was happy to oblige.

And then she found the tupperware cabinet...

and climbed inside the dishwasher!

She enjoyed the swing at the park next door to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

And also enjoyed the spring blossoms in the yard.

Nora also enjoyed reading books with Grandma.

She was infatuated with Millie, which was fine except that all Millie wanted to do was lick her! Nora was the lucky recipient of many 'kisses.'

We also visited with Great Grandma Irene

and Nora sat still just long enough for a photo with Great Grandpa Ed.

Lucky for us, Grandma Carol happened to be in Green Bay too during the same time we were! Nora didn't really want her picture taken,

but eventually gave in.

Though the circumstances were unfortunate, we did have some good quality family time in Green Bay.

So besides Green Bay, what has been going on? Well, Nora got a new sun hat and modeled it one night.

We've been spending time outside when the weather permits, and Finn was nice enough to let Nora ride in his car. Already riding in boys' cars...

Nora is working hard on tooth number five, and just this morning came down with her first illness (an ear infection-what else?) We've been so lucky that she has been healthy! Construction has started on our basement, so in a few more weeks Nora will have another space to explore and cause trouble in!
