Ten Months Old

Wow! It's been an eventful month. Cooper, now ten months, is pulling up and starting to say a few words, like "stuck" when he got his arm stuck in a drawer, and "cheese" when begging for macaroni and cheese. He raises his hands when we tell him to praise God.
We took him on his first vacation to our favorite spot, the Smoky Mountains. It was a little different with a baby along, but we had fun. We stayed in the same cabin we stayed in last time and took our dog Nash along too. We spent one day at Gatlinburg and another day hiking on a pet-friendly trail. -

The big news is that my brother and sister-in-law and their family are in the process of moving to Boone, NC. My brother got a job working at Samaritan's Purse. After having them here in Nashville for 13 years, I am REALLY going to miss them. It will help having e-mail, Facebook, and free long distance on our cell phones, but it's going to be hard not seeing them at church every week and not getting to watch my nieces and nephew grow up and being as big a part of their lives. I believe God has a plan in this though; it seems like a great ministry opportunity for them, and my brother will have much better working hours than he has ever had before.

and with my brother and me.Cooper keeps me so busy that I don't have much time to sit around and be sad, or do much of anything else. He's a joy though, and we're thankful every day that God has blessed us with him.
