Adventures in Arkansas (Cohen's 1st visit to Paragould out of the belly)

lane, connor, cohen and i drove to p'gould friday night. it was a fantastic trip considering we had a 4 yr old and a 9 wk old in the backseat...no crying or movie-watching for 3 1/2 hours. it was miraculous. when we arrived at gran & paw paw's house they had dairy queen waiting for connor (plain cheeseburger, ff's & chocolate milk-per his request), and catfish & bbq per our request. what a heavenly meal! i'm never gonna get this pregnancy weight off.

this morning, after what's become a staple meal of french toast for connor fixed by his paw paw, lane took him to see isaac cook's soccer game. then they went out to the cook's farm so connor could play with eli & isaac. lane took lots of pictures-which i plan to post on here just as soon as i figure out how. connor rode on isaac's horse 'duke' and went fishin'...then had dairy queen again for lunch. what a dream afternoon for a little boy. after a nap and some family photo-taking outside in the yard with paw paw's awesome new camera, we took connor down to the high school football field. he loved being able to just run, run, run and 'play' football with his daddy. i loved being able to take more pictures of it all with paw paw's awesome new camera. did i mention that his camera is awesome?! it is so awesome.

cohen spent his day taking naps, getting his diaper changed, drinking lots of milk, and being passed around to all kinds of people who came to love on him...ie: nonny carolyn, susan havens, mary rankin, memmaw, aunt shay & uncle bub. that boy is a gem. i don't want to rush the growing up process, but i am really excited to see him and his older brother grow up together.

well, our dog-and-pony show is in town until wednesday of this week so i'm sure i'll have plenty more to add to this adventure story. it's too late at night for me to conjour up any creative-writing skills. my eyes are crossing.
