Runny Noses and Footy Jammies

Fall's here. I think. (I hope)

Perched

Peer pressure can make us do some pretty crazy things.

Girlfriend or Auntie?

Since Coop was really little, he has had a very difficult time trying to determine if the women around him were Aunts or Girlfriends...(Katie, you were the first..)

So, now he's super confused, and it's a little embarrassing to watch.

At dinner recently, Kami was spinning Cooper around and then he would act like he couldn't walk, and look where it got him.

Right back where he wanted to be.

Simple

I think we've all had those days when it feels like we're just trying to hold on to a run-away horse. (If you've never held on to a run-away horse, just imagine it. It feels exactly like you think it would.) We are lucky enough to have cousins come play with us and it's been so fun for Cooper. He's been learning so much from his older cousins, and he's been playing different, wrestling a little too much, (I'm so sorry again, Staci...) and overall just acting pretty crazy.

Yesterday he ran into my room carrying these two things. I looked down and just felt so happy for him. I'm so glad that we have the gospel to keep our household together. And not just for today, but forever.
