Christmas

There are two pictures from last year...  I can't believe

how much Nona has grown!!

The Titans rule...

"This game will mean everything to both teams.  For the STEELERS, this includes running the gauntlet of the toughest schedule in 25 years and finishing with the best record in the conference.  For the Titans it will mean getting that much closer to the best season in their history.  For both it will do much to determine who earns home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. ... Though the Titans have more wins and are currently the best team in the AFC, the STEELERS should win this game if they continue to play at their current level."  (bleacherreport.com)

Just as a refresher, the old Greek Titans were overthrown and imprisoned in the deepest part of the underworld.  A place the Titans of the new world are about to visit....  starting at 1 p.m. on December 21, 2008....  (Unfortunately, we'll probably be stuck with the Chiefs game...  Don't they know that Steelers fans are NOT just fans, they are HARDCORE fans?!?!?!)

Touchdown...

Some pictures of my chubby Cora and funny Nona...

Notice the double chin and rolls on the ROUND belly!

Okay, the ball may or may not have crossed the goal line, but it WAS called a touchdown (reversing the call on the field).  And SO we must say...

GO STEELERS!!!!!

Helping

The other night Nona offered to help with dinner.  Okay, I thought.  Well, I pushed the flour container back on the counter thinking to avoid an accident.  Turns out Nona is a little taller than I thought...

Happy Turkey Day

Blessing Day for Cora

Some pictures of Cora's (& Aliya's) blessing day...

Relatives

Lots of visitors came to see us...

Cousins

Baby Aliya and Baby Cora were born on the 1st and 31st of October respectively.  Aliya is a bit bigger than Cora right now, but I'm sure Cora won't always be so small...

Can you guess who?

Okay, so I've come to a realization... My girls look a lot alike! See if you can guess which is which...

Cute pixs!

After bath..  check out the hair!

My favorite picture - so far anyway...

Coming Home

So we came home on Sunday.  Our first night home, Cora had a nice explosion all over the bed - apparently I didn't learn that lesson the first time around!  A few hours later, Nona puked everywhere.  Welcome home!!!  Nona has had a temp. of at least 101 since Saturday and has been throwing up since Sunday.  Her doctor said it was just a virus, but we hope it goes away soon without any of the rest of us getting it.

Poor girl!

Getting ready to go home

All set!

Halloween girls (and daddy)

Cora Louise Rodino

Cora Louise Rodino (possible AKA - Boo) was born at 12:04 p.m. on October 31, 2008. She weighed in at a whopping 7 lbs. 7 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. Labor and delivery was a little more intense than it was with Nona, but I guess I can't complain too much since they hooked me up to the Pitocin at about 8 and she was born 4 hours later! Cora is a very good baby... Sleeping lots! :)

We will put videos up later...

Update

Well, here's the scoop...  If I don't have the baby sooner, we're going in on Friday to be induced.  Happy Halloween!!!
