Arrrgh!

Hello out there in blogland to all of you dear fans. How in the heck have you all been, you been doing pretty good? Well, we've been up to no good around here as usual, and we sure do have lots of news to report. First off, I want to clarify I am not trying out for a pirate play. The newest news is that I have a corneal abrasion on my left eye. Happened first thing this morning as a matter of fact. Whew, what a day! I was difficult to console and mom and aunt Amber couldn't figure out whether I was simply having a rough day, or something was actually terribly wrong with my eye. Let's say I was quite the trooper while those two were hashing it out. Luckily, the doctor saw me right away, and after a terribly traumatic experience, I was diagnosed with a corneal abrasion and had my very own eye patch. Needless to say, it was horrific. I was held down, salined, fluoriscened, and THEN they shined a bright light in my sick eye! And even though I used my very best manners while screaming at the top of my lungs, NO THANK YOU, that PA, mom, and the nurse, totally ignored my requests. I was crying, mom was crying, heck, I think the nurse and PA were about to cry. I was such a big boy and all I got was a crummy teenage mutant ninja turtle sticker. Can you believe that?! Needless to say, while I was eating dinner, aunt Amber asked me whether I thought today was a good day or a bad day. My reply was BAD, without hesitation. But you know, I am such a big boy, I am already doing better, let mom and dad put drops in my eye AND put my patch on. Amazing how adaptable we are as little guys. Thank goodness cousin Kent and aunt Amber were here to watch brother while mom tended to me. What would we have done without them?! Speaking of Jagger, you should see him CRAWLING! He is just like an inch worm and he is getting fast. I am not sure what we're going to do with him, especially since he is already exhibiting such destructive behavior toward my trains! GEEZ! Mom swears brother is also saying "muuuum" and "hhh, hhh" for hi. He waves and quite frankly, the kid is nothing less than adorable. He wows folks everywhere we go. If you don't mind me saying, we both do. People simply glance from one of us to the other, mouths agape, in total awe of our devilish handsomeness. Honestly, I can't say I blame them. More news, big birthdays this month to include Kamrie, Cody, Gramma B, cousin Valerie, Hannah G, Erin T, Joey T, Joshua S, and happy anniversary to grammy and pappy J. If you see these guys, wish them MANY happy returns. Almost forgot...brother got another tooth, weirdly enough, not one of his two front, he will have to ask for them for Christmas I guess! On the tech-y front, both m&d got new cell phones, exciting, but annoying as they continuously argue which one has the best. Seriously, both Jag and I think they should grow up; they're like two kids at Christmas! On the business end, very exciting news for you, dad ordered some t-shirts for crossfit retribution. Let us know and we will hold one for you in your size. Visit www.crossfitretribution.com today and check out the new post if you want a sneak preview! Of course, this is only for our VIP blog fans! Lastly I would like to report the passage of brother's pacifier into what will eventually be the Chesapeake Bay water system. Let's just say dad had to go while taking care of both of us on his very own today. Well, while putting the tp liner in place, he heard a "puhhh" and there went brother's paci, shooting straight into the pot! I said "I'll go get it", but dad shouted "NO!" Seriously, I don't see what the problem was, it's just WATER!! From that point I was completely consumed with checking out what was happening to that paci in the toilet. I kept reassuring dad that I could go in after it, but to no avail (and probably to the sheer delight of anyone within earshot in that Chick-fil-A bathroom)! Needless to say, alas, we are one paci down. Mom wasn't even that upset about it and you know she gets about losing those pacis! Well, better run, off to bed with me. Time for cookies and milk, YUM! Come on by some time and I will be happy to share them with you lovely reader! Until then, we'll be thinking of you and hoping for your visit. You take care of yourself out there and bless your hearts for tuning in. You hang in there and as soon as mom gets the gist of blogging from her blackberry, you'll REALLY be in the know. Remember folks, you heard it here first. We love you dearly and wish you were nearly...signed the fabulously handsome and keenly intelligent, yours truly, Cooper B.
