  I am grateful for my wife, our son, our home, our doggie, my job/ability to support our family, our supportive families, our 10 embryos in the freezer... I am grateful for the changing political and cultural climate around us that allows us to be not only accepted and embraced by our community, but legally married in our home state. I am grateful for Second Parent Adoption in our state, and the ability to legally recognize and protect my family. I am grateful for access to great healthcare when we need it (Will's NICU stay and week in Children's Hospital when he was a month old opened my eyes to a lot). I am grateful for this little online community and all of the friendships that I have forged here... Oh, and coffee. I am always grateful for coffee

  I am grateful for my wife, our boys, our family, friends and community.  The wonderful community on this board, for my memories, for the sunshine today, for Kadens great big hugs, for a life filled with so much laughter, for our home, for opportunities and dreams and our health.  I am also grateful for my minivan, food in the fridge, our new business and hopefully spending two weeks with my little family in December.
