Working for a living

So I really have a good reason I have left this blog unatended...Hawaii and Tennessee. The Youth choir is going to Hawaii for 9 days, leaving Sunday and just a few days following that we will be in Tennessee for Centrifuge. Basically I have had to have everything done for all of those trips and all of our regular weekly programs for the next month by today. Busy but not burnout busy.

In case you haven't heard, the Cope family will be growing by one sometime in February! Yes, Colleen is pregnant and I am having a hard time not hoping that it will be a girl, Naomi has been so awesome, I can't imagine having a son. Obviously there will be no disappointment with a son, after all, what if Naomi doesn't like soccer or fantasy baseball?! We'll get more info out soon.

Conversation with a 2 year old

Naomi: Where'd go?
Dad: Mommy went to the store.
Naomi: Oh...why?
Dad: Because she is shopping.
Naomi: Why?
Dad: Because she needs some clothes.
Naomi: Oh...why?
Dad: Because she does.
Naomi: Why?
Dad: Because.
Naomi: Where'd go?
Dad: She went to the store.
Naomi: Oh...why
Dad: Wanna watch Winnie?
Naomi: Yeah!
