Blessed to be an Aunt!

This weekend we were able to spend it doing two wonderful things: going to the cabin for the first time this spring and spending the weekend with my nephews! Dylan and Seth are a complete joy to be around. They loved meeting Cooper for the first time and they definitely wore him out!
Dylan fell in love with Cooper!

My adorable nephews!

A childhood dream has come true...

From the time Aaron was 6 years old, he has always wanted a puppy. Although his parents were never thrilled with the idea, he went to great measures to let them know just how desperate he was for a pup. He used his imaginary leash to walk the dog around the neighborhood and he even mowed a grassy patch that said "dog" in his front lawn. Still.... no dog was granted for Aaron. He started out wanting a Golden Retriever, then it changed to a pug in his middle school years, and from high school on he wanted a yellow lab. Today, May 5, 2010, Aaron's childhood dream came true. Cooper joined our family.

After driving two and a half hours to pick up Cooper and a few poop and potty accidents in the car ride, he is safe and sound in the Drake house. It brings me joy just knowing how happy and how long my wonderful husband has waited for this little Cooper!


Right before his first bath!
