Sweetness

Reading to some friends:

Walking on some trails in Lawrence with our friend Gus:

My Mother's Day present of breakfast in bed:

(Actually, on Mother's Day, I was up and out of the house for church music practice before Coop was awake.  When I walked back in the door, he said "Mama, you look tired.  You should go rest in bed."  And then he brought me breakfast!)

One night, after repeatedly asking me to sleep with him, Cooper opted for the next best thing.  (As an added bonus, Alex the Alligator doesn't snore!)

Garage sale season is upon us!!  Coop and I found a box of random small animal cage parts for $10.

So we added on to Scratchy's cage:

New reading position?

This critter is one of the pets that will be in Cooper's first grade classroom next year:
