Cooper getting "wa-wa" from PawPaw

Grammy and I left the boys to do a little shopping and breathe a little fresh air! When we came home, this is how we found Cooper!


My mom and dad came to visit a couple of weekends ago. It was so GREAT to see them and spend time with them! They have not been to visit since August when they came to Cooper's birthday party because 2 days after the party we all were hit with the news that my Poppa had a very aggressive form of cancer in its late stages. My mom has spent every moment with him and my Granny helping out, carrying them for treatments, feeding farm animals, etc. Basically, she has put her own life on hold for the past 6 months. My mom is okay with that because that is just the type of person she has ALWAYS been~she is extremely others-centered. BUT~she needed this trip and this time with us and little Cooper! The doctors had performed a scan to see how the treatments had worked and they were set to get the results on Monday, so my mom needed time away to take her mind off of what news they might receive. Praise God that the results were fantastic!!! ALL tumors had shrunk at least 50% in size with the ones on his lungs almost completely GONE!! Isn't God amazing! We all know that the road ahead of him is still long, but for now we are thankful and hopeful!
