Nicholas & Tabitha: November 2014

All month long I've watched and listened as people have been expressing gratitude. November seems to have the affect on people. What better way to usher in the holidays then with a day of gratitude. November has held big things for us, November is when Nick asked me to marry him and when we found out we were infertile, and adoption awareness month, But this year it's the month our sweet baby girl turned 6 months old. We have so much to be grateful for!

6 months old.

The last 5 months for us has been pure bliss. Our little girl has brought so much joy to our lives and all those she is around. Adoption has truly blessed and changed our lives! We are so grateful for Viv's amazing brithmom. She has so much love for this little girl. This Month we are grateful for her and giving us this blessed opportunity to be parents. We couldn't imagine life without our sweet little angle in it. She numbs the pain of infertility and brings more joy then we ever thought possible in our lives. We are so blessed to be part of the adoption family.

Viv got to have pictures take by sweet pickles photography. Kari did such and amazing job of capturing viv's personality and her beauty. We love these pictures!

Over the past few months we have made some fun memories, and had some big events. In August we were able to give Viv a name and a blessing. This is something I have waited my whole life for, there is something so sweet about a baby blessing. Nick did such a beautiful job and brought such a sweet spirit to the meeting that day. We felt so loved by all the people who came out to support us and especially Viv. I am so grateful for the gospel in our lives, i'm especially grateful for a husband who holds and honors his priesthood.
