Today was one of those mornings when we (as in me and the boys) had no obligations and we were going about our normal routine. I was getting ready for the day, Cade was napping and Cooper was eating chips and salsa and coloring. I'm sure as some of you~ while I was getting ready I was thinking of what we should do for the day and Cooper came in the bathroom and I said (this comes from my dad, sniff, sniff) Hey Cooper has any one told you they loved you today?... Well I do. He got this BIG smile on his face and said yeah mom we are best friends huh, you, daddy, Cade, and ME!
Life can throw us some crazy turns but the lord always knows what you need. In my case it was to slow down and realize how important my little family really is to me and the church. I have to admit I was not thrilled to move 8 hours away from my family but in a weird way it was exactly what we needed. We love our family more than ever and we miss them everyday but be assured we are growing and enjoying this new experience in a way that was totally unexpected soooo.... on that note I Love you -Justin, Cooper, Cade and all my family at home who instilled us with STRONG ROOTS to grow!

I know what you mean Chy. I would love to live in the same town as my family and friends always someone to do something with or someone to watch you kids so you can go and do things. It does really make your family grow lets just pray we make back someday. But in the mean time it helps to make great friends that you can rely on that our in the same situation.
Chy, I am with you! I haven't lived in the same town as my family for 3 years and it's been so good for out little family. Of course I've missed my extended fam, but we have become such a close knit little group. Cooper is so cute and so smart! How fun!
K, it's so funny that you mention the popcorn bin! My sister-in-law has given my little girl a princess Bin of popcorn twice in the last year! How funny! I was such a nerd! (maybe I still am.)
