A Happy Thanksgiving

We had a family gathering at my brother's house yesterday to celebrate Thanksgiving. We had the usual turkey, dressing and more, of which I ate entirely too much (not making much progress toward getting those extra pregnancy pounds off!). The best part, though (in my opinion), was having Cooper there with us. Last Thanksgiving, I had no clue what this year would bring, and God surprised me in a wonderful way. As always, I am thankful for my family to gather with, but this year I was especially thankful for this unexpected blessing He has brought to us!

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21

One Month Old

Our baby Cooper is one month old now. He has filled our household with joy as we marvel at this blessing God has bestowed upon us. He has also kept us very busy as well as sleep-deprived.

He is a good baby. He has been to church 3 times, Bible study, and out to eat twice and has been perfect. Of course, I have to time it just right so that he has a full belly and sleeps in his carrier through these events, but he is still pretty low-maintenance as babies go.

My apologies to everyone whose blogs I haven't read or commented on in ages. I haven't forgotten about you; I am just spending FAR less time on the computer than I have in the past, for obvious reasons. I try to check my e-mail and Facebook a couple of times a day, but that's about all I have time for. Hopefully as we continue to get settled in I will get back to it, at least to some extent. I hope you're all doing well!
