A busy weekend!

Cooper finished a great normal week. Some of the kids at school got permission to have pizza brought in for lunch Friday, to make it special since Cooper made it through the week but won't be there for next six weeks.

Then Friday night Cooper was having James spend the night and the two of them were going to go over to Kenzie's for a bit since her brother has Rock Band II. Well Cooper's Angels had other plans. They and a bunch of others were all at Kenzie's to surprise him and hang out. The weather was great and they seemed to have a good time being outside till about 10:30. Thank you Lee and Julie for hosting.

Saturday was the first trip back to Autumn Ramp Park. Unfortunately it was a bit crowded. Cooper was able to skate, do some ollies but did have a little trouble getting into the swing of it, so he didn't stay very long.

We explained that is to be expected since he has been off so long and especially the lack of exercise has made his muscles weak - not to mention major surgery on his brain! I think he did well for first time out and will improve - it will just take time. Thanks Nick for coming out to support him and especially for the email afterward.

We then went and got his leg weights as the PT suggested for him to use to build that strenght back up. Also got him some hiking shoes so we can hit the trails now that spring is on the way.

Sunday we missed church to get ready for Cooper and Sherry to head to KC. They left about 1:30 and got settled at Hope Lodge that evening. They say it is very nice, Cooper's biggest complaint is no Nick @ Nite so no George Lopez! He is having withdrawals.

love to all,
