My last day was great (not because it was my last day but it went really well). I was able to take Max and Ella to the Children’s Museum. We had so many fun days there and I wanted to take them one last time. It is crazy how much they have grown since I first started. They had so much trouble doing all the things at the museum but now they know how to do it all! We were able to take a picture with Santa as well and I got a key chain (sorry no picture of that). It is a great way for me to see Max and Ella on my keys every day!
Then it was off to Bottoms Up Pizza. It was one of the first places I ever ate when I was in Virginia and the kids love it. So it was a great place to take them on my last day. They did such a great job when we were there, they ate their whole piece of pizza and their french fries! They are growing kids I guess 
The last night Todd and Amy took me out to dinner at Ruth’s Chris. JJ, George, and Whit were there as well. To start off the night we drove out to the airport to bring Whit, Dakota’s doll that she “left” over at the house. Next thing I knew Max, Ella, Whit and I were up in a helicopter flying over Richmond enjoying all the beautiful Christmas lights:) Then we got to land at the restaurant! I felt like a celebrity The dinner was great and I loved spending my last night with dear friends.
The morning was great as well, I was greeted with a great big breakfast. We all got to eat together and enjoy the morning. Then it was off to the car, tears were shed and goodbyes were said. It was a good thing I grabbed some kleenex for the road It was so hard driving out of that drive way. But the send off was great, both Max and Ella ran down the driveway waving and blowing kisses!
I am shedding a few tears as I write this post about my last day. I have really loved all the time I have spent with Max and Ella and all the other wonderful people in Virginia. Amy and Todd thank you for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to be a part of the family. I miss you all dearly and am already ready to come back and visit I LOVE YOU!

Cori, your post reminds me of how fast time travels. From your first day to your last day, you did see incredible strides. it is reading these posts that you reflect on how much really did occur. Thank you for coming into our life and making our life better. We certainly wish you the best of luck in your new chapter……. think of the risk you took coming to Va to be a family you had no idea what you were getting into…. use that adventure through life. We love you. Todd and Amy
Cori, I can’t believe we are in our last days of January, you’ve been gone for over a month now and we sure do miss you. The kids ask about you; calling you “My Cori.” Megan has a boyfriend named Cori so when they talk about you it’s “My Cori!” I hope you are doing well back in the land of 10,000 ice covered lakes. I sure do miss it. I gave your number to my girlfriend Stacy, she may be calling you for some help once in a while. It sure is quiet here today, (I cannot ever remember my house this quiet). Kids are at Grandma and Grandpa’s and I just finished up with work. I promise we will skype soon, I know Todd tried over the weekend. We will make it happen. Kids would love to see you. Thanks for keeping this blog, I know it helped your family and friends stay connected, but it sure does bring a smile to my face as well. Love you Cori! We’ll see you in April.
