Rest of April 2023

Soccer season returned to Team Cohen this month! With it came 2 soccer stars AND "Bring Your Grandparents to Soccer Day."



Spencer is 6. We snuck him into the 4/5 year old team.
This is the team lineup. I'll leave it here.

Bri got her own dedicated blog post this month. Because Bri dedicates a lot of attention to herself. Here are the other 4-leggeds:

These guys are still here!
They get attention every now and then.

Dewey makes sure that the gerbils are still here.
He gives them more attention than anyone.


Gabi got a new comforter for her bed this month. On its
inaugural afternoon, both these big girls needed to test it out.

When our conference hotel received a food delivery from a restaurant on April 24th, the only problem was it was meant for May 24th. Instead of letting FORTY EIGHT (!!) pounds of food go to waste, WIN's Operations Associate brought it to Caritas of Austin, an awesome organization working to end homelessness in the Austin area.

Take Your Cat to Work (EVERY) Day

We have a sweet and snuggly kitty who assumes that I sit at my desk every day to give her my undivided attention. And if/when I do not, she lets me know that I am not giving her my undivided attention. And she demands it. I have three screens, and she still manages to put her full body in front of all of them. Or sleeps on the keyboard. All. Day. Long. Rinse and repeat until the weekends when she is confused why I am not sitting at my desk.

I present Brianna, aka Bri.






SOMEtimes, she concedes my attention.

Ethan Attends UT Baseball Game with Gildens

For those who haven't spent time with Ethan lately, you should know he LOVES sports. He loves watching sports, playing sports, learning sports, celebrating sports. When the extended Gilden family invited Ethan to join them at a UT baseball game, he was PSYCHED! Neither his experience nor the shared pictures disappointed.

First up, indoor swimming.
