Catching Up...

Seems like we have been running in a million different directions these past few weeks! With this being our first Thanksgiving with Cohen at home, we've had so much to be thankful for. Cohen absolutely loved Thanksgiving -- going from one house to the next eating delicious meals and playing with cousins -- what's not to love?

Yesterday was an exciting day for us -- Cohen took his first steps on his own! We were at my parent's house and my dad was playing with Cohen. Cohen stood on his own for a few seconds and the next thing we knew he was practically running in my direction! Won't be long until he is walking all over the place.

After waiting in the doctor's office for 45 minutes, I broke down and let Cohen play with the germ-infested toys. He loved giving the baby doll a bottle.


Playing with Drew and Nolan on Thanksgiving -- They all looked so sweet playing together I just had to take a picture.


Cohen met his Uncle Tommy who lives in New York for the first time on Thanksgiving. Cohen loved riding on Tommy's shoulders!


So many blessings this year... Cohen is going to be a big brother! Robby and I submitted our application for the El Salvador program on a Friday and the next Monday were surprised to find out that I was expecting! The agency we were planning on using requires that if you become pregnant you have to put your adoption plans on hold until the baby is six months old. We have had losses in the past, so we can't help but be a little nervous this time around, but the doctors are keeping a close watch on this pregnancy (and I am taking daily shots to ensure that my body is able to maintain this pregnancy) and right now we are just praying for a healthy baby.

We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We are so thankful for each one of you!
