Cora's first week









Our first week with the little lady has flown by and we're amazed at how quickly the time passes just snuggling her and keeping her belly full. We've got quite a little sleeper on our hands and estimate she sleeps around 20 hours each day. At this point, she incredibly mellow but we know it probably won't last.

Here is a glimpse at what Cora has done in her first week (besides eating, sleeping and getting her diaper changed):

-First trip to the doctor's office for a follow-up visit. We learned that she's gaining weight and eating well so that's good news.
-Had a newborn photo shoot and peed all over Dad
-Survived an Oregon heat wave of 90 degree plus weather that is supposed to continue through this week (No, we do not have AC)
-Greeted several visitors who have snuggled on her but only seen her eyelids
-Spent an afternoon at G & G's down in Canby
-Went to her first movie (Away We Go) and didn't make a sound
-Went to sushi because after 9 months off, I couldn't wait any longer

We'll see what the next week brings....

Thanks for all your kind words and support. We're excited to introduce her to all our friends and family in coming months. She's amazing!

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Salar de Uyuni Tour

Southeast Bolivia is home to the world´s largest salt flats. This amounts to huge expanses of flat land surrounded by snow capped mountains. Big lakes, super dry deserts, and llamas, alpacas and vicuñas everywhere. As you can see from the photos, there are a few interesting things going on here. First, and most notable, is the huge population of flamingos. There are three different species that summer in Bolivia and winter in Chile and Argentina. But what makes it even more interesting is that the salt flats are roughly 14-15,000 feet above sea level. We are way up here. That makes the hills and mountain surrounding the plains almost 20,000 feet. Mt. Everest is less than 30,000 feet. This is home to flamingos? Yep, lots of em.
