The Joy of Two!!







Well hello!!! I bet you thought we would never post again!


Two kids are more challenging, but we are finally getting back in the swing of things! We feel so overjoyed and thankful that God has blessed us with two incredible boys! After a wonderful 6 weeks of being home with Cooper, I started back to work the Wednesday after Christmas. It has been difficult to leave him, but it has been good to get back in a routine. And since I only work 3 days a week, I really can't complain. Special thanks to my partner Laura for taking over the practice while I was out. She did an awesome job and I thank God for her everyday--what a blessing her friendship is to me!

It is hard to believe that Cooper entered our lives just 8 short weeks ago! It seems as though we were not complete without him! Everything I was apprehensive about before quickly dissolved as soon as this new miracle came into our lives! Cooper is a great baby. He is very laid back (like his daddy) and he has such a sweet disposition. Yes, I may have had a more painful time getting him here, but it was worth every minute. And I would go through it 10 times over to know that we would have him waiting on other side.



And the big question has been: how has Gavin adjusted? Big brother has been awesome to say the least. He gets Cooper smiling the best and he is such a great helper! There are times, of course, that you can tell he needs some extra attention, but that is to be expected. He is very proud of him thats for sure!


This picture was taken Thanksgiving day. We had a great Thanksgiving with much to thankful for--two healthy boys, what more could you ask for!




Christmas was a very busy time, but we enjoyed it to say the least. Gavin was alot of fun this year because he really knew what was going on. He was so much fun to watch Christmas morning. I tell you though, I have a new appreciation for our parents and the hard work that goes into making Christmas morning happen. Being an adult has definately changed the way I experience Christmas, but it is still fun to live it in the eyes of a child!



We hope you all had a wonderful holiday and wish you all the best for an exciting and fulfilling New Year! May God bless each of you and keep his angels of protection around you and your families!
