One year ago today I was arriving in Guatemala to stay with Cohen until we could bring him home. My mom and I flew down and we were both so nervous not knowing exactly what to expect. It was amazing how everything fell into place. Our driver picked us up at the airport and took us immediately to our attorney's office to meet Cohen and his foster mom. Our attorney surprised us with the news that our case was out of PGN and Cohen would soon be going home with us forever. And although there were many stressful moments in Guatemala, I look back at that time and treasure the time we spent there.
Cohen has changed so much (and so quickly!) this past year. He amazes us daily with how smart he is and makes us laugh with his entertaining little personality. And he is embracing his new role as big brother. One morning he was sitting next to me as I was feeding Leah. I looked down and he was holding her little hand. He is so concerned about her -- whenever she cries he either pats her, brings her a pacifier, or holds his hands out like he wants to hold her.

I, at the suggestion of Haley Hudson, checked out facebook this week. I posted, and am getting caught up with Sarah Mattingly. She told me about your two children, and I wanted to get in contact with you.
John and I adopted our oldest son from Guatemala in April of 2006. He is GREAT!!! I would LOVE to share stories, and hear all about your family. My e-mail is jpeveland@yahoo.com.
Hope to hear from you!
