1st encounter with grass!

1st encounter with grass!, originally uploaded by peitho_chrio.

Today we went for a long stroll so dad could try out his new camera and Cora her new stroller. They both worked great. Cora got her first handfuls of grass. We sat by a pond and ate lunch and enjoyed the sunshine. Unfortunately the "dust-bowl" hit half way through the walk. The dust was so bad all around Dallas that there was literally only 1/4 mile visibility. We all made it ok (with only a few bits of dirt in our eyes and teeth). Christina actually got a little welt from some kinda flying debris. The warm weather was a welcome change and these old legs needed some walking time among the trees.

Finally the temp has hit 75. I hope Cora loves rolling in the grass as much as I do... (better get the stain stick ready mom).

Just before going on stage Cora had to grab a quick nap.

Cora's first taste of the spring air brought a tear to her eye ;-)

Cora is so cute in her little duck dress. She gave Daddy a big smile while sitting in her exersaucer. She loves to smile for the camera...which is good because Daddy loves to snap her photo!

Texas winters aren't so bad... but enough for the full winter regalia.
