Anyway, Cooper is the sweetest kid. He tells me that he loves me every night, after I hold him up to the ceiling to reach for the stars. He still says, "I want to mow the grass.", even before I tell him that he can do anything that he wants in the world.
Mr. Knox has been practicing his million dollar smile this week. He gets more adorable each day. Kid melts my heart.


We had everyone over on Christmas Eve at our place, and then exchanged some gifts. Wendy made me a video...a collaboration of pictures of Coop and Knox over the last two-plus years. It was certainly hard to watch without getting teary-eyed. Certainly the best Christmas present that I have ever gotten. (To Wendy- I know you read this, so many, many thanks. I love you with all my heart. Remember that you have the keys, so operate it carefully. Thanks Wendy!)
I will try to get the video posted here soon. I tried to upload it earlier, but may have to get the original. ???????????

Cooper peaking over the railing to look down at the presents on Christmas morning...

A few days before Christmas I went down to DB's, and he and I made Coop and Mr. Knox signs for their doors. Coops read, "He-Man Womun Haters Club".

And Knox's read, "Fort Knox".

I can't wait to get them up on their doors. I hope that as they get older that they will look at their signs and think of their Dad (because as long as that sign is on your door-I am there).
Today, we went to Uncle Dave's and Aunt Joyce's house out in Willoughby Hills. Ate too much food again, but hey, it is the holiday's. Coop had fun playing rockband as Wendy and I chased Knox around the house all day.

...Rock N Roll Coop.

Knox...walking with the mouse.
Well, I can't say it enough...I love you boys. You are certainly my inspiration to keep going.
Smile, today could be your last.
