Complete

Our family was completed when Cohen came along.  We had always said that two was the magic number for us.  I am thankful that we have one of each and can experience both sides of things. 

I can't believe that this little cutie is turning five next month...

Being a mom has made me grow in so many ways. 

Last Easter

Last year we spent Easter in Pinetop.  We did the annual Easter egg hunt and made the mistake of telling Ella all about the golden egg.  She didn't find it and was a bit grumpy.  This year when talking about Easter and egg hunts, the dreaded golden egg was brought up again.  If we tell Cohen about the golden egg, we won't make as big of a deal about it.

It's weird for me looking at these pictures from last year.  If you would have told me then that two weeks later we'd find out about my mom and her diagnosis I would have said you're a crazy person.  I remember this Easter because she wasn't feeling overly well which was odd...especially for her.

Flash back 04/06/2014

This time last year we were in Ohio celebrating Devin's moms retirement from the Air Force.  She retired as a Lt. Colonel and had two tours to Iraq.  We had a nice visit while we were out there and it was a good experience for Ella.  I wish that she were a bit older to really appreciate what happens with hard work and dedication. Hopefully down the road Jody will write some stories about her time in Iraq.  

Ella had her ears pierced while we were there.  This was the second time she had her ears pierced and this time it stuck.

 Ella and Great Grandma Bonnie.

Laughing

Cohen is a ticklish little boy.  He is an incredibly happy baby and is almost 4 months.  He's still hasn't had any formula and we're hoping it stays that way until he's six months and ready for solids.  We are working on sleeping through the night but he will sleep for about 5 hours on good nights.  He's a stuffy little thing and often snorts.  He coos and has discovered his chunky little hands. 

Easter

We had a nice Easter this year.  We did an egg hunt at the Arizona natural history museum.  It was a nice change of pace and we enjoyed seeing the dinosaurs.  We did Easter dinner on Sunday and had Ryan over.  We also got Cohen a highchair - he looked so small in it.
