VA Pics

More assorted pictures of VA Craziness^© (Yes, it's copyrighted.)
Cooper + Hat = Cute

Grammy + Tongue = ?

Butch + Tongue = Drinking Straw?

Sebastian + Carmen = Also Cute

Kim + Sherry = Also Also Cute (+ Camden, in shades, worshipping biscuit tins = a little weird)

Cute + Cute + Cute = Cute³ = Adorable

I don't think we can continue the cute thing. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't think Eddie is cute. I'd use 'handsome' myself. Maybe 'Prone to overdressing for the situation' or 'Respectable working man'; anyway, I don't want to distract you any further... get back to the pictures.

More cu... I mean, um, more perkiness (damn you for letting me down on this one thesaurus!)


When love strikes...

Cooper runs. (Cornell men aren't very good with emotions...)

He runs to find an earring.

Or to find a spoon (and/or a crazy-eyed Grammy.)

What would a post this long be without a few random kids + lizard photos???

Cornell Men and Their Booze! A Pictography.

"I'd like a bourbon and coke, please."


"Seriously, do I have to ask again? Bourbon and coke, please."


"If you make me ask you again, you and I are going to have problems!"


Meanwhile, in a different corner of the room, the phrase "What's up his butt?" is applied to the wrong child. (So much for alcohol abuse being a victimless crime.)


After many polite requests were denied, and threats ignored, the young Cornell resorts to the tactics of the elder Cornell men when they are denied their adult beverage of choice.

Here are a few family shots from the reception after the dedication.

Here are more pictures from VA, with family at the dedication. As you can tell from the pictures, Cooper got sick during his travels. He's not overly dressed up because of that though, as you've seen Tobi winterize him in the past when he was in TX.

Bundled up for the car ride. (Tobi sometimes forgets that modern cars have heaters.)


Cooper thinks mom is a hypocrite - no hat huh?


With Grammy at the dedication. Grammy needs lots of tissue - only a third of it is for her though - the rest is for Cooper's nose.


Mom and Cooper in the vestibule. Cooper likes to talk when it gets quiet in church.


Here's a few pictures when Sebastian and Carmen joined Tobi and Cooper in the vestibule.

lord i was born a travellin' man

Tobi took Cooper up to VA back in January, to visit family and attend a dedication ceremony. Thankfully, since I had to stay here to take care of our cats (they both have medical issues), Grampy was able to travel with Tobi and Cooper and provide much help to both of them along the way. Here are a few cute pictures of the flight(s) and airport(s).
