The Cook Family: November 2008
http://thecooks-bama.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. After watching the documentary, we found out why. Episodes where Jerry Seinfeld. Would finish every statement with, "Not that there's anything wrong with that". In today's world we offend just by breathing. After watching "Expelled," however, I was shocked to see just how big of a no-no it is to mention intelligent design. Notice I didn't say "teach" ID, I said mention. Long-standing scientists and professors were fired for even mentioning intelligent. But it is happening.

http://thecooks-bama.blogspot.com/2010/05/lions-and-tigers-andchoo-choos.html
Friday, May 14, 2010. Lions and Tigers and.Choo Choos? But with all the newness and excitement of Edee Ann, Brannon and I knew we needed to spend some special time with big sister. Plus, I couldn't talk. I ate french fries and deep fried chicken fingers. Boppy," (she can't pronounce her M's, so she calls me Boppy), "Pwincess curls in hair, Boppy, okay, okay.". Until next time, we love you and go to the nearest zoo. It still just as fun as when you were a kid. May 17, 2010 at 5:35 AM. I love to capture ev...

The Cook Family: December 2008
http://thecooks-bama.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 26, 2008. We had a wonderful time celebrating Jesus' birthday. My sister Molly and her boyfriend, Sean, came in from Atlanta and stayed with us for a couple of days and we were able to spend the entire holiday right here at home - Dothan. I'm so glad to call Dothan. Mary Ellen woke up at her usual time and her face just beamed when she saw her presents stacked up in her new Radio Flyer. Via Santa. Mary Ellen also loves her piggy bank and coins she received from her Aunt Bronwyn. I hope y...

The Cook Family: February 2009
http://thecooks-bama.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Head in a Box. I used to sleep with my head in a box. It was a large cardboard. Snuck in a flashlight, some books and some more art supplies. When it was time to go to bed, I found a way out - a loop hole to my parent's dreaded rule to "go to sleep" at a decent hour! I thought, "I don't have to go to sleep. No one will ever know that I am awake because. I have this box.". Inside a brown box. Judy," the would say, "It's kinda mean to let your kid sleep in a box. My younger si...

The Cook Family: March 2009
http://thecooks-bama.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Easter on a Budget. Here is an inexpensive Easter decorating idea I wanted to share with you, especially with those of you with small children. I used the bunny cutout at school and punched a hole at the top, then simply tied all types of springy ribbon on the colorful bunnies. I then tied each bunny onto the dining room chandelier. It's nothing fancy, but it's fun and Mary Ellen loves them! I always said that I would never put Mary Ellen or myself in a pair of Crocs. Judy, my mom.

The Cook Family: Kittens and Cars
http://thecooks-bama.blogspot.com/2009/10/kittens-and-cars.html
Thursday, October 15, 2009. Momma kitty brought them back and thought she could hide them in our car. We quickly pulled the kitties out from the car, fearing that they were burned or dying. They seeemd fine, but were definitely hot so we placed them on the cold kitchen tile to cool them and examine them better. At this time, we only thought there were two kittens up there. Brannon back tracked and found another kitten on his parents driveway! If that's the case, anyone want a kitten? Mary Ellen wore this...

Friday, October 31, 2008. We went trick-or-treating in Grove Park and it was so much fun! MEC loaded up on some candy for Mommy and Daddy. Way to go Mary Ellen! The pumpkin outfit was made by Grandmother and of course she was just too cute. And she left her pumpkin hat on! I don't know why some of these turned out so blurry. Sorry. Just squint. Monday, October 27, 2008. Saturday I took MEC. To go with us. We had the best time. MEC. I do have pictures of me with MEC. Sunday, October 19, 2008. Absolutely&#...

The Cook Family: Off To School We Go
http://thecooks-bama.blogspot.com/2009/07/off-to-school-we-go.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2009. Off To School We Go. Oh I haven't even thought of that before! I don't even want to think about all those nasty germs. Mary Ellen has been sick very few times and I credit most of that to the fact that she was cared for by her grandmother. I always hear that your child stays sick for the first 6 months of daycare. My poor baby. NO really, my nervousness is just my unwillingness. Keep a lookout for a future posting of our first day, which is August 10 th. There will be plenty.

The Cook Family: May 2009
http://thecooks-bama.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. We had a great visit with my mom ( Mommom. And Grandpa Max in Georgia this past weekend. My grandparents drove down from Pennsylvania. And were able to meet Mary Ellen for the first time. It was so precious and rare that we were all able to be together like that. My sister and her fiance, Sean, came, too, and it truly was a nice weekend. Of course my grandparents - GiGi. I left work early on Friday and took my car to Advanced Auto thinking it was a blown fuse. By this time there was...
