Thanks be to God, Father, Son and Spirit, for the abundance of good things he pours on His children.
We are but few, but His blessings are many.

haircut day!

Yesterday was "haircut day" in the Cook house. Josh and Seth got their normal buzzes and Lorraine got a little trim. This time Aggie got to join in the fun:

Lorraine and Aggie feel like brand new princesses with their new hair dos! I wonder if they will still allow daddy to cut their hair when they are 13?

Meanwhile, Marcus is giving us a run for our money. He sure loves a party. I exercised by dancing with the kids yesterday, and so all day today Marcus keeps grabbing my hand and saying "dance?"

As cute as he is, he sure is trouble though. I remember reading a James Dobson book a long time ago that mentioned three kinds of children: complaint, strong-willed, and STRONG WILLED!!!! I think Marcus might be of the third kind. Every time Josh would tell him to do something yesterday Marcus would yell "NO!!!" (and of course got in trouble every time.) Josh made significant progress with him. Now, when he is asked to do something, he takes a huge breath and says "NNNNNNN...." and then begins to obey.


All the kids are sad that vacation went so quickly, but we are all looking forward to Nana's visit on Tuesday (she's staying for about a week.) We hope she recovered ok from that climb to Lake Michigan! I know I am still sore!

Meanwhile, Eldon thinks this family is hilarious. We think he is a funny little guy too! And a good baby- he slept through the night last night!!!!
