Cooper Update

Daddy did great finding the coming home outfit. Luckily though, Cooper doesn't roar like a lion, in fact he doesn't roar very much at all.







He did not like his first bath but has since learned to enjoy them.








Already sporting the Nike gear.





He loves his car seat, thank goodness, since he spent more than 30 hours in it on our long drive to Virginia.






Daddy loves to spend time with his little boy.

A close-up of the boy!

The Hero Conquers the Dragon

Once upon a time there was a boy who LOVED his dragon kite from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a fine, VERY windy day and the boy decided to fly his kite. When he kindly let his younger brother hold the string, the kite pulled from his brother's tiny grasp and went sailing over the rooftops. The little boy Garrettt was beyond distraught, to the point of near hysteria.But hark and hallelughia, the string got caught on the rooftop of his house. Ahh, the dragon is saved, the boy is appeased and all is well. Now the dilemna, how to get the Kite untangled? Mom tries her hand at the pitiful feat while Dad waits below to "catch" the dragon. Mom gets the kite unhitched, hooray..... oh ooops, oh noooooo, the kite flies high and fast, racing past the waiting dad! Dad races off and Garrett dissolves into near hysteria once again. The kite flies at tremendous speed with Flash Gordon Dad in hot pursuit. They quickly leave our line of sight and fly toward the distand trees. Did Dad catch it? Is the kite safe? Is it caught in the trees. Is that the kite we see heading our way? Can it really be? Oh my glorious windy day... it is Dad pulling the now docile, once wayward dragon to his home. Dad the Hero conquers the dragon. Sweet memories in the making!
