The Adventures of Dave, Lindsay, Cora and Edie

"It takes a whole village to raise a child." Dave and I were talking about this on our way home from Montana. We have been so thankful for all the love and support from our friends and family as we transition to parenthood. Sweet cards, wonderful gifts and tons of hand-me-down baby clothes and equipment. We really appreciate all of it - THANK YOU! We feel very fortunate to have such a strong community and are excited for all of you to be a part of Cora's life.

It's been nice to be home after our long roadtrip. But...the traveling has only just begun. Cora's Uncle Brent came to town for a few days and tomorrow we're off to Utah to visit more family. Cora's first time on a plane - wish us luck! Now we'll finally feel the pain of all those parents we've watched for years dragging a car seat and diaper bag on the plane while carrying a small child.

Last week, we left on our 10-day trip to Idaho and Montana to visit family and friends and introduce them to our little girl. First stop was Post Falls and Coeur d' Alene where we played with Grammy Jill and lots of Dave's family. Cora got to meet some of her cousins. Then we were off to Missoula to stay with friends before heading to the Flathead Valley, where we lived for 2 1/2 years (and where Grandpa Bruce, Grandma Mimi a lot of Dave's siblings live). There is truly nothing better than a beautiful sunset on Flathead Lake! Cora has been a good little traveler as long as we keep her diaper dry and tummy full. It's definitely a change of pace traveling with a 6-week old but we're lovin' it.
