"cutie pie at the top of the page"

I cannot tell a lie, I did not take this picture but it was made with my camera last week at the Zoo. My friend Meghan couldn't help herself so asked if she could take some pictures cause Cora was being so extra cute (and all she was doing was sitting there. you should see how cute she is when she moves around and 'talks'. ha ha ha). C.G, has been getting quite a few compliments in random places on the blog to address the header picture so I thought I should give Meghan the credit she deserves for capturing the "cutie pie at the top of the page" (thank you Lee and Lisa P and the others that have commented on the picture). While on the subject, I'll share some fun developing news. While our understanding through Evan's adoption was that we had to wait 6 months to finalize his adoption officially, we recently found out that may not be true. Currently we are communicating with our Attorney and Caseworker to find out how soon we can Finalize! When we do we will be having Cora Sealed to our family in the Nashville LDS Temple then Blessed in our Ward here. I am so excited and wanted to share the information sooner but we still don't know. Either way, the latest would be mid-December. No one in my family committed to being able to come at that time so hopefully a sooner date would at least produce my parents which would be wonderful. If they don't, we will be relying fully on our Church family to assist and accompany us to the temple for our special day and can't wait to see you there. I'm so excited! Cora Grace is so completely part of our physical/temporal family and I cannot wait to make her part of our Eternal one. :)
