Easy Like Sunday Morning

I'm not sure if it's because Dustin sings this song to her often, but Cora really adores Sunday mornings. Truthfully I think it's because every Sunday she gets to wear a beautiful new dress that everyone at church will ooh and aah over. I mean, wouldn't you love days like that? This month has been my month to teach our Bible study class and I just wish there were a few extra hours on Sunday mornings. Getting Cora ready, myself ready, feeding her so that she won't need to eat again at church or thawing some expressed milk and fixing a bottle, getting to church, getting her settled in the nursery, getting myself settled after running all morning to teach (this series is about relationships) - ah! And thankfully most Sundays I have Dustin's hands to help out. How did my mom ever do it with three little girls, especially when my dad was a police officer and rarely off on Sundays? I have so much (newly earned) respect for my parents.

Yesterday was a wonderful day. Cora was pretty in pink and was a lot of fun for the women in the nursery. After her church performance, she was exhausted and slept for a long while in her carrier even after we got home. Dustin and I actually watched a whole movie while she napped!

Once she woke up, I had to get some pictures before she got a little more comfortable. At first, Cora just wanted tos how off her dress.



Then she started to get silly!


Cora, put down your dress!

"Mommy, you're so funny!"

Shhh...don't tell Daddy.

Then we went for a little stroll to check out Dustin's food plot for attracting deer. Cora loves trees and you'll notice that she's looking up at them even though she's screaming.


The church's youth group came down to the beach for their end of summer picnic so we stopped to chat during our evening golf cart ride. Cora really enjoyed watching the kids play and splash. She even did some splashing of her own.



With Sundays like that, you can't even be mad about Mondays! :)
