London's last trip to Oklahoma -

In September, London and I took a trip to Oklahoma while Matt was on a research trip to New York. We were spoiled rotten by grandparents, aunts and uncles, and family friends. While we were in Okc, London got to take a nap on Papa's lap and make bead jewelry with Mimi. He also learned a new game, "uggie, uggie," on his Papa's lap. The rules of the game dictate that the adult should give London jiggly hugs while he sings "uggie, uggie" until he is tired or bored. It's fun to watch him share hugs and kisses.


London got to play with his cousins Abby, age 6, and Caty, age 4. Abby and Caty are true Cooper girls - they bossed London around! When he tried to take too many crayons at one time or tried to leave the coloring table to go color elsewhere, they reigned him in.



John and Norma, aka Grandpa and Grandma, live out in the country and London got to go "outside" several times a day. He got to ride on a tractor, play in the dirt, and get chased by his uncles. John and Norma escorted us to the airport. Here's our goodbye picture. -V
