What an amazing year it has been. We feel very fortunate to have such an amazing son in our lives and are grateful for our little family everyday.

We were very lucky to see so many friends and family on Thanksgiving. My “fake” cousin Shannon and her husband Brian kicked off their holiday visits with us.

Then we enjoyed a fantastic dinner cooked by my dad and stepmom, Valerie. Rob’s friends, from Houston, the beautiful Mashruwala family, joined us for dinner and brought a homemade pumpkin pie. Caden, their youngest, is just 1.5 months younger than Cooper and Zane, their oldest, is their amazingly well behaved 2.5 year old.
