Thanksgiving

Laurel made her first trip out of Texas and first plane ride two weekends ago when we traveled to Jacksonville, Florida to spend Thanksgiving with my parents. We were so nervous about how she would handle the trip, but she slept the entire way down and back! We had a great time with my parents. They were amazed at how much Laurel grew over the past month. We had Thanksgiving diner on Thursday, of course, did a “little” black Friday shopping on Friday and Laurel entertained a few family friends on Friday. Pictures from the weekend can be found here.

A couple of weekends ago our good friends Jamaal and Maya made the trip down to Dallas to meet Laurel. Jamaal was a little nervous to hold Laurel, but quickly found that it wasn’t difficult at all. She was on her best behavior, and we cleaned up pretty good before they got here, so they didn’t get a chance to actually see just how much out lives have been turned upside down. After a busy week, I finally got around to uploading some of the photos.

Today would have been my sister’s 34th birthday. If you have time, please take a few minutes to visit the page we have dedicated to her memory. It contains links to various news articles covering efforts to keep Caroline’s memory alive. The Cody family is very grateful to everyone that has supported these efforts through the years, and to you, for taking a brief moment to read about them.

Below is one of my favorite pictures of me and Caroline. My mother tells me that this was not a posed or planned picture. My father was really on the phone and this is just how we decided to acting.

Kyllan and I took Laurel to the State Fair of Texas the weekend before last. Kyllan grew up in Texas and views attending the fair as some weird mix between obligation and treat. She was determined that Laurel, as a native Texan, attend her first fair this year. Well, we ended up with only one picture, because our daughter sleep through the whole thing. Below is a picture of Kyllan in front of Big Tex at the fair, with Laurel strapped into her Ergo Baby. There is a random picture below that to help everyone see how fast she is growing.

Adorable!
