It is tough to keep Coop in his pants.

Why you making me wear pants?  I want Momma!

Now on to what we have been up to

 Thankfully, the Winterfest exhibit was still in town when we arrived in Raleigh, and that meant trains and Thomas! 

Sam was in on the action

 Just too darn cute, right?!?!

Coop lovin' on Sam

Seriously, a cuter picture?!?!

His words, "I want to hold the baby, momma."  He then forgets he has him in his arms!

Sam is just happy to be here

Coop is happy he is on the train at the Museum of Life and Sciences

Shut your mouth, there is a cuter picture of this baby!

Word, Bacon's Out

We are back!

 Ahhhh, yeah, we are back babe.  We are in the good 'ole US and we are happy to be here.  Here is Coop lovin' the Living Sea Aquarium in Park Ridge when we visited over Christmas.  He LOVED the Nemo tank...would not leave the Nemo tank even though there are thousands of other fish there!  I think a little fish b-day gift might be in his future...

Dad keeping Coop from falling in head first.

 And we are now loving our new little brother Sam.  He has definitely grown on Cooper.  He now asks for him when he wakes up and obviously loved to get in Sam's personal space.

 We received additional visitors this Christmas, Grandma Cathi, Auntie Snootes and Auntie Henna all came out to see Sam and Coops...it had been way too long!

 And believe it or not, they let Coops play around in the cockpit when we arrived in Raleigh...he LOVED it!  We were the last ones off the flight and they had shut everything down, so Coop was in heaven! 

What does this button do?

 And our precious Sam, so much easier the second time around!  We are enjoying this little guy so much...he is a great traveler and smiles and coos all the time!

Grandma Judy lovin' on Sam.
