Happy Birth Mother's Day

May 8, 2010

A year ago tomorrow was the Saturday before Mother's Day. It was Birth Mother's Day. And coincidentally, it was the first time we met Katrina and her family in person. It was also the day we learned that this year would be the first time our little family would celebrate Mother's Day. Tomorrow wouldn't be complete without today. We feel so blessed that we were able to celebrate this special day with Cohen's amazing Tummy Mummy. Thanks for being a part of our family, Katrina. We love you!

22 Days in England

Megan’s sister Allison has been living in England for the last couple of years.  She, her husband Shayne, and their oldest son Josh went to Zambia to work with Mothers Without Borders for a few weeks.  We stayed with their other kids, Hailie, Ethan and Olivia while they were away and toured the beautiful country of England.

We were traveling on Easter, so Cohen got his Easter Basket the next day.  Here he is enjoying his first chocolate bunny.

England was much cooler than we expected.  It was beautiful and there is so much to see and do.  We also got a taste of what it will be like when we have more children since we were taking care of four of them then entire time.  They kept us so busy that both Sam and I lost a few pounds!  It was great spending time with all of them and Cohen loved getting to know his cousins.  We're excited to see them again this summer when they come to Utah.
