Cooper the Photographer

Cooper is interested in EVERYTHING. The latest thing he decided he wanted to play with was Jill's camera. We didn't think he could do much harm to it, so we gave it to him and then he proceeded to snap enough pictures over a 2 hour span to drain the battery completely. He was having a big time telling us to say "Cheese Please!" over and over and then remarking "Oh that was a good one...." or "Got It!".

Here are a few of Cooper's first photos, prints available for purchase for very reasonable prices....

Cooper's Overalls

Jill decked Cooper out in his super cute overalls for church the other morning. I thought he looked so cute that we had to take a few pictures before heading out.

Cooper's smirk. No idea where he gets that, likely from his mother.

Lauren looks exhausted with the whole thing, which isn't surprising considering this kid NEVER naps.

But when she is awake, she has started to get around pretty quickly.

Quick visit to Arkansas

Jill, Cooper and Lauren made a quick trip over to Arkansas to see the whole Lovejoy gang. Justin, Dr. LK and Katherine made the trip down from Alaska, and Grandma Vi and Jerry came over from OK. Poor Joel had to go to Wyoming and work....
