Welcome! We are moving to this site now from our previous adoption journal, which alas, won't be available online any more after the first part of October.
Not much new to report from the Cohen household these days. We enjoyed the Dablemont family reunion yesterday as Katie met many relatives for the first time. She took it all in stride and seemed to enjoy the attention. They all enjoyed the sandpit and the playground and it took sometime in the bathtub to get all the sand out of their hair. (I caught them all laying down in the sand making "sand angels" - that was Ryan's idea.) Eric got to play some softball and performed well for being such an old guy.
Prior to this we had a wonderful visit with Aiya over the Labor Day weekend. We took the kids to the pool and played on the swingset a lot.
Ryan is enjoying preschool and is doing well. Katie and Alex go to a "Mother's Day Out" playtime two mornings a week and are also doing well. Eric is back at work at the Exceptional Pupil Co-op. He is a "Data Technology Consultant." (The kids thought this was Daddy Technology Consultant.) This is a PC term for Computer Guy.
He is a jack-of-all-trades at the Coop and has been a teacher, aide, implementor, and now computer guy. He does a wonderful job there and is well loved. He is also a wonderful part-time stay-at-home Dad now.
We are both still overwhelmed at times managing work and home life. I am chronically behind in just about everything. We are working hard at organizing and making improvements the very best that we can. We are both astonished beyond belief at the wonderful and incredible children God has given us.
Well, that it is it for now. The next big upcoming event is Katie's surgery on her hand.
Kate and Mama will go up to Columbia, Missouri on the 27th of September for outpatient (I hope) surgery on the morning of the 28th. We plan to come home the morning of the 29th.
While I am glad to be getting this over with, and I believe that sooner is better for her, I dread the pain and the uncertainty she will go through. We can certainly use good thoughts and prayers during this time.
Love to all,
The Cohens
