Well now that we have made it through another holiday – Cohen’s last “first holiday” – if that makes any sense at all, I thought I should stop in and see how everyone else is recovering from Turkey Day festivities. Now that we are nearing Cohen’s first birthday (he will have made it through a full year of holidays…sniff sniff). I still can’t believe he’s almost one! Holy cow!
