3 Months and Father's Day!

Cooper hit the big three month mark on Saturday. He's very much transitioning into a little man. He giggles and "talks" to us at times. Here he's practicing his yells . . . "Go Stars!"

Coop adores this little puppy dog that sings and kicks his legs. Witnessing his amusement is the perfect prescription for a long day. For a small phenomenal charge, a performance can be arranged upon request.

Cooper has found his tongue! In a few desperate efforts to calm unmentionable storms, we found a trick that's very amusing to all involved. With repetition, these highly refined developmental techniques will prove very beneficial to Cooper when slinging a hammer, hitting a jump shot, guiding a putt into the cup, or catching a lunker in the not-so-distant future.

On my first Father's Day, we filled up with some $4 gas and took a roadtrip to Cooper Lake and the nearby town of Cooper, TX. The lake is 19,000 acre gem with great campsites and a profound absense of traffic . . . we highly recommend checking it out. And besides, the name kinda has a ring to it!

Have a wonderful week!

Oops! I did it again!

Yes, we . . . well, I let another few weeks slip by. It will take me a few days to catch up on the festivities. Thank you very much for your patience.

Cooper has been making the rounds prepping for Holly's return to work. We enjoyed a pool party at the Land homestead on Memorial Day.

Kids everywhere . . . from 3 months to several hundred months in age!

He's informed the Marriott family that Momma's really responsive when you cry. Just beware . . . you may be forced to burp or get a pacifier stuck in your mouth if you use that card.

He, Holly, and Gigi had a great lunch in Corsicana with the Paradise Bay gang.

He had a great weekend with the G-Moms, Aunt Neva, and Uncle Wade.

"I don't care who you are, that's funny" - LTCG. I believe he was a bit amused to smile through a pacifier.

Coop may not have inherited his mother's stinky feet . . . this didn't wake the usually grumpy sleeping giant.

C-O-M-F-O-R-T.

OK, we're smiling . . . and you're still in front of the TV!

Richland's own Dr. B stopped in for a visit with the ladies.

No matter what . . . toys rock!

More later!

A fine Week Nine!

They say that time flies when you're having fun. Coop is now 9 weeks old and weighs almost 12 lbs. He's becoming much more active, but he's still such an awesome cuddle buddy.

We had an incredible weekend with our Huntsville family. A wonderful Saturday in the country, a Jeep tour of the ranch, fish feeding / marshmallow roasts in the evening, a round of Sunday morning pasture pool, and a Sunday afternoon cookout made for a great break from the Dallas grind. Donna, Dale, Fenley, Louise, Taylor, and Lesa . . . thank you!

The survey is in . . . Cooper and Holly approve of porch swings.

And, Cooper loves recliner time with Donna.

Well, Cooper approves of almost anything if it involves a nap or stretching.

And, we all approve of a marshmallow roasts.

Cooper also received buckets of love from Louise, Taylor, and Lesa.

Cooper also met a very special friend in Corsicana. We call her "Say". We think she approves.

Taylor and Grey say "See y'all next time!"

Woohoo! We hope you all have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!
