B My Valentine!

Hello to you! It's me, Cooper B. wishing you a belated happy Valentine's day. We hope you had a great one full of hugs and kisses. We sure did. I am posting some pics with my funny Valentines mom and dad, and one of my belated Valentines present, a visit from Gram and Gramps B. Gramma B made me the last hat of the season, and boy, is it a nice one. Fits me perfectly and I wear it well, of course. We are having a nice visit so far and looks like we may be out for Saturday lunch and some fun in Frederick. The best part is that Gram and Gramps will be joining us. This morning I ate a GIGANTIC breakfast and now I am helping dad vacuum the downstairs. In case you didn't know, I am such a helper bee. I also gave Gram and Gramps my Valentine to them, well, sort of. They had a bit of a hard time getting me to let go of the candy. Don't they know candy isn't for adults anyway? Oh by the way, I hope you aren't faint at heart. The above Valentine pose is for the mature audience only. M&D think I may have a future in modeling although they were a little nervous as to how naturally this art form came to me. Mom says they will have to lock me in the house when I am a teenager. She also prays I don't have both dad looks and her personality. She says they will never rest, whatever that's supposed to mean...You know mom. Not much news this week; mom is working like a mad woman at her job, seeing so many patients a day her head is spinning. Dad has been making the long commute to southern Virginia, but he made it through the past two weeks without any frostbite. We're sure thankful for that. Ms. Michele is getting surgery next week, so be sure to remember her in your thoughts and prayers. We'll sure miss her, but I can't say I am not looking forward to Monday with Gram and Gramps, Tues and Wed with dad, and Thursday and Friday with ma-ma! Whoowee! Sounds like a great week ahead, don't you think?! I passed out Valentines at Ms. Michele's and mom stayed up Wednesday night making some beautiful Valentine cookies. They were heart shaped with pretty decorations and do you know I didn't even get to eat one? Some nerve. I have a new favorite cookie called Pecan Sandies. Come see me some time and I will share some milk and Sandies with you. Mom says I must get that taste from dad because to her a cookie just isn't a cookie without an inch of frosting or a pound of chocolate on it! Haha. I can't say that I blame her. Big birthday coming up on Monday...Pappy J. So if you see him, please wish him a VERY happy one. I wish I could tell him happy bday in person. You know I am talking up a storm. Too bad m&d aren't smart enough to figure out what I am saying yet. Bless their hearts, they try. I speak slowly and clearly, I am not sure what else to do. I guess I will continue to practice patience with those two. But you know, there is only so much a little guy can tolerate. Well, I better get going, maybe I can convince Gram to take me for a few more laps in my convertible before my nap. Regarding the above picture portfolio, I'll be signing autographs soon TBA. Until then, be thankful that you knew me when. Lots of love, be safe out there, and remember we are thinking of you and missing you like crazy. Come see us if you can. Hugs and Valentine kisses, Cooper B.

PS: We heard from Uncle Bart and are hoping like crazy we'll see him on our trip down to Topsail Beach over Easter/dad's bday. We'll keep you posted, but he only has about two weeks left! Yippee!!
