Last night one of Cooper's cousins Hill spent the night with us. Hill is about 10 years older than Cooper and is a wonderful role model for Cooper. He will forge the way to Camp Longhorn every summer, show what it's like to play basketball and football, and give Cooper someone older than him to look up to. He also has Mary Ella who shows him love and tenderness see their picture below. Hank will be a great friend almost his age. We can only imagine the trouble they will get into since they will probably be in the same grade.
My Dad had eleven brothers and sisters so you can imagine the number of cousins I grew up with. I think this is where I learned all about community. Every year we would all gather in New Jersey and have so much fun growing up together. It is wonderful that Cooper will have a similar experience and so many pals to share life and laughter with.
