Hi there and howdy do! How is life treating you these days? I am doing super swell, no complaints at all. Of course, how could I complain when I am king of the domicile? You read it right folks, and from now on, just refer to me as 'Your Majesty', yes, that will do just fine. The reason I am sitting so high on the hog is I have twice the people here at home right now and everyone's goal is trying to please yours truly! Usually I have only mom and dad catering to me, but this week, I have Gram, Gramps, and cousin Kent all as my playthings! And boy do we play! You know mom and dad are as thankful as me to have them here, and don't think it is simply for selfish reasons. Mom told dad the other day that of course the help is more than wonderful, but she appreciates the company ten times more! I can't say I blame her. Yesterday we had a fabulous day. You will never guess what we did. We drove to Harper's Ferry and I swam in the river for HOURS for my very first time. M&D got in with me and we sat and relaxed in the river and threw rocks forever! You should have seen all the rocks! I was in hog heaven. And guess what else?! I held some fish! Real live ones! Cousin Kent caught about 25 fish while we were there and I wasn't a bit afraid of them. Good thing, because someone else sure was, not to mention mom's name or anything. I could have sat in that river all day! Gram knitted me some socks while we were there too; they are beautiful and the good news is that this pair may actually fit! She is having a hard time sizing up these big pigs! We all had picnic and snacks together and then headed on up to our usual haunt (Frederick) for dinner. What a great day! I had such a wild time, I crashed in my car seat on the way home...and that's the last thing I remember! Today we've been relaxing, well as much as we usually relax on a Sunday. Dad and the men did yard work while I went to town grocery shopping with the women folk. I am such a good boy! Mom and gramma tell me so all the time. I got to drive my own shopping cart car in Safeway while I noshed on Goldfish and potato wedges. The potato wedges were mom's idea, I feel sorry for her, she can't even finish the shopping without getting voraciously hungry! Good news though, we are expecting her parasite to be cured around December 26th, just in time for Santa, whoo hoo! Speaking of Christmas, we received a nice gift in the mail from our cousin Stephanie and want to thank her big bunches for it. Mom already hung it in my room and it looks great, matches my bees perfectly! I also want to say a very happy belated to cousins Kamrie, Cody, and Valerie. Today is Amanda's birthday, you'll see her pictured above with my friend Brady, and this Wednesday is Heather Halfin's big day. There's also a great big deal coming up this weekend with Gramma B's day this coming Sunday. This weekend also brings Grammy and Pappy J's anniversary. So if you see any of these special people, be sure to give them the appropriate regards. To give you a forecast of the week ahead, we plan on more fishing tonight, the Keys baseball game with fireworks next Saturday, with lots of play, play, play, in the meantime. If you feel like joining us, come on over; we would love to have you any time. Until then, you'll be in our thoughts and prayers. Take special care and remember to hug and kiss your family as often as you get the honor. We love you loads, Cooper B.

Hey Cooper B.! What a great 9 days Gramps, Kent and I had with you. Kent thinks you're quite the great little guy that you are. Of course wanting to touch the fish he caught made his day. I'm sure it won't be long and you will be catching fish too. Let's see, it is really hard to pick one thing that was our favorite! Going to Harper's Ferry, fishing, walks, playing ball and going to the baseball game or just plain hanging out with you, your mom and dad. It was all the best ever. Oh, maybe the best food I can pick....Raspberry cheese cake ice-cream cake, OF COURSE! Thank you for a great week. I'm sure someone will be very happy to get you back to their house. Have a good week Big Brother Cooper B. Love, G&G B.
