I know its been a while since I have updated. Sorry to all who keep checking....

We do however have some very exciting news. On Feb 6, Tolan and Raelene had a beautiful baby boy, Reese Menrad Friesen. He came a little early but is happy and healthy. This makes Tyler and I Aunt and Uncle for the very first time and Cohen is a cousin for the very first time. Cohen is very interested in him and wants to touch him all the time. They are very cute together.

Cohen is now 9 months old and weighs about 20 lbs. He is crawling like crazy and walking on furniture and using things to push around but no independent steps just yet. He is absolutely hilarious and such a joy.

This past week Lynette was up for a visit. It was such a great week. On the weekend Ivan and mom and dad came up as well. Cohen took a minute to remember who everyone was but he loves his Grammy and Grampy. It was so great to see everyone, and yes I know the drive is very long.

The long weekend is over and its back to normal around here. We're cathcing up on house cleaning, laundry and sleep. Hope everyone had a great long weekend.
