A while ago Katrina's mom suggested I repost her favorite blog entry that she read when they were considering us to be Cohen's family. Here you go, Grandma Debi--we love you!

Last weekend my sister and brother-in-law went out of town. We figured this was the perfect time to follow through with a promise Sam made to their kids to have a slumber party where we stayed up all night watching movies and eating popcorn and candy.
We didn’t end up staying up all night, but we did watch a movie and eat popcorn and candy.
And of course there was jumping on the bed that turned into a pillow fight.
The 4-year-old woke up in the middle of the night because she had a nightmare that her daddy was the Grinch. I tried to console her, but I was also trying not to crack up at her nightmare story. She woke up again, but before I could get up, Sam was headed to the living room to check on her. I woke up awhile later and Sam was still gone. Then I found this:
After that I only woke up once because the baby wanted to snuggle (that was heaven!). In the morning I was awakened when Sam and the girls brought me breakfast in bed.
Yes, I married the best man in the world!
We went to church the next day and got some interesting looks. A lot of people know we are hoping to adopt, so I think they thought we hit the jackpot!
