We are ALL ok...

For those who know me, you are well aware of my distractability (I do not think that is a real word...and since typing it I have analyzed it via Dictionary, Thesaurus and Google). This particular trait lives strong in my ever present and always elsewhere mentality - as seen in my previous sentence.  Since it has been so long since this blog was updated...you have no doubt assumed one of two things: 1) The Coopers no longer exist, having instantaneously disappeared off the face of the planet, starting with the last update when E was in the hospital. (A sentiment that my Father-in-Law, must think, since he tirelessly comments on the year + gap from previous post...despite having been with us, talking to one of us daily, and enjoying countless pictures on FB, email and text messages.)  OR 2) We are fine and thriving (read: surviving) as a family with 2 young children and a very wonderful, but taxing vocation.

For those who need more stability and reassurance that our children and lives have moved past Evie's hospitalization more than a year ago, please stalk us on Facebook. Or better yet, relocate near our home and share life with us through physical presence. If those two options are not possible...please be affirmed that we are living life: sharing the moments of joy, laughter, tears and energizing exhaustion that accompany the journey.
