THE COLORS!
I just love how Cora's Playground is coming together.
Check out the new flooring.
Isn't it GREAT?DuraPlay installed the flooring. They even donated some of the cost so that we could have the colorful design--which I love!
We are so thankful for all these talented, generous people who are helping make Cora's Playground possible.

The colors of the flooring really make it look awesome!!
WOW! It looks awesome!!
It looks amazing! I hope to visit her playground in person one of these days.
Also, Jess, I wanted to ask if you mind if I steal your "Praises" and "Prayer Requests" terminology that you used while Cora was sick. My Aunt Linda is currently very sick and fighting Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma on her brain. Our family started a website for her through caringbridge and I just really like that idea so I hope you don't mind.
Take care!
It looks amazing brings tears to my eyes. I know my kids would LOVE to play on that playground! Continued prayers from my family to yours!

I will visit one day (I'm actually not too far... about 6-8 hours away in southern Oklahoma), so my girls can slide on Cora's slide and play on Cora's playground.

I'm a lurker, but just had to comment today. The playground is beautiful and I don't know of a single child that won't absolutely LOVE to play on it. What a wonderful way to honor precious Cora's life.
Cora's Playground is absolutely beautiful! Hands down the most amazing playground I have ever seen, and I have seen my share! The flooring pattern is a great touch. What a wonderful gift to the children of your area.

Absolutely Perfect!!! I love the colors, I love the equipment what a beautiful place for all of Cora's friends to play on. I love love love it!!!!
DuraPlay!!! Jess, the owners of DurePlay are my good friends and neighbors, Misty and Darren Toomey way down here in Wimberley, Texas. They live just a few doors down from me. I'm so happy that they partnered with you to make Cora's playground so colorful and safe for the kiddos to enjoy.
Misty and Darren have two young children themselves, Cash and Blue, who I know would love to spend some time at Cora's playground. I'll be sure to let them know what a special project they were a part of, just in case they aren't aware.
Everything is just beautiful, a true reflection of Cora. All it needs now is a few dozen little ones squealing and laughing. Can't wait for the pictures of that.
What a small world it really is! :)
WOW! This is the nicest playground I've ever seen! And I've seen a lot....
Incredible...beyond all the visions I had of how it would look!
Wow! It's really breathtaking! Such a wonderful tribute to your little girl.

Awe-some! That looks so cool! I can't believe what a difference the flooing made! I mean, it looked great before, but now it really pops!
Wow! This looks amazing! Keeping your family in our prayers in Kansas City. The Hayes Family
It looks beautiful! What a fun place for kids to play! Very cool to think about Baby Mac some day playing on the playground which honors his/her big sister!
I LOVE the colorful flooring. I take my kids to various parks around our city and haven't seen anything like it. A special playground to commemorate a special little one.
Your story inspires me daily to look at the important things in life....God, faith, family, friends. The petty things just don't seem to matter. Thank you for reminding us of this fact, and most importantly for drawing people to God through your story. God is using your pain to bring glory to Him. You are being a faithful servant. Well done.
LOVE IT!!!
What a beautiful tribute to your precious baby girl! I have followed your blog for some time and have prayed often for you. I am a 76 year old great grandmother who counts it a privilege to pray for families like you who have special needs. May God give you a special blessing today and in the days ahead as you await the birth of a new baby. Our next great grand arrives January 29th, to our granddaughter, Kristin and Clay who live in Kansas City. Just wanted you to know I am praying for you two.
Makes me wanna be a kid again! What a blessing this is going to be for many, MANY children at your church! Cora's memory lives on!
We have dear friend who lost their son in a tragic accident over 20 years ago. They had a playground built at our church in his memory..and it's still there, with his name on the fence...ministering to 1000's of children! Be encouraged!
It looks absolutely amazing!
How beautiful!!!! What a wonderful way to honor sweet Cora. God blessed yall when he made Cora for you, and now He has blessed you by providing this great tribute. God bless you and your family.
Wow, it's amazing!
It looks so great! I'm with you, the colorful flooring designs are fabulous. It adds so much cheerful character. The playground is coming together so wonderfully!

I also wanted to tell you I love your new blog layout. I love the pics of you all and Cora on the header. It is nice to see her there. I have been thinking of Cora (and you all) so much lately, as our daughter is exactly the age Cora was when she was diagnosed. Just know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate this new road-looking forward to new life and grieving life lost. Cora has helped me treasure the little moments a little better.
