Hangin' with Mr. Cooper




Cooper..the newest addition to our family. He's a 5 month old German Shepherd with enormous ears and big paws. He's a cutie and we are having fun getting to know him.









He's an outside dog and it's our hope that he'll be a good guard dog. He has already warmed up to our day and night guards, but we are hoping that he's not that friendly to everyone.


Anaiah LOVES him so much! She cannot stop smiling & laughing when she sees him--it's hilarious! She shares her love for dogs with her Nana, which makes my mom happy.

You should train him like Baas, only disciplined.

Great looking dog (If you like dogs) Just kidding you know my history with dogs. I am glad that Anaiah likes the dog that is just great. I am going to have to show Becky, Cooper she has had two german shepherds in her family. By the time I come and visit Cooper should be huge.
Love, Mom

wow! so much has been going on there for you all at the same time. I am looking foreward to meeting your new dog and riding in your fabuloso new van! I have been thinking about it and worrying that when we did make it out there that we would not all be able to see eachother right away at the airport (or geust house). My mind has been set at ease, so now we just have to focus on saving up the moola...

Hi

Your pics of all of you are sooo cute. So fun to see them.

Anaiah is adorable and the dog is not even a close second or third to her....she is still THE cute grandkiddo and he is still...well...he is still a dog.

OK..so I am muuuch more of grandkid person than a dog person ;-).

But I am so happy about your acquiring the dog and the van...exciting!

Love and prayers,

Gloria R.

Hey friends!
Well we'll be seeing you next month! We're excited to be back in F.P. I haven't had the chance in the last week to check your blog, and then when I did, there was so much news to catch up on- love the van and the dog! I am praising God for the van- I have been praying for that provision! We are hoping to get another dog when we get back. Where did you get Cooper? How much did you pay for him? Kisses to Anaiah!

We would love to come and visit. We'll let you know if we can ever get it together, and if we ever have older children. I'm a little done with diapers!

sounds like you guys are really settling down over there. That's so great. We definitely miss you guys over here but we know you're doing an important work. We're just so amazed at how big Anaiah is! I still picture her as this itty bitty thing but she not any more. Just wanted to chime in here and let you guys know we're thinking about and missing you all. Love ya!
