Coop & Lulu spent there first Christmas in a place where wisemen travel, where miracles occur, and where there was no room at the Inn... that's right - Waco, TX. Indeed, that wise man would be the soon to be "Dr. John Burk" who arrived from Scotland with his beautiful bride Margaret. The miracle would include Lake Travis High School (of Lakeway, TX) became 4A state champs (AND Baylor's men's basketball team has a winning record thus far). And, ... with 13 Christams guests at 3410 there was scant a spare bed.
Well the parallels to a little manger several thousand years ago end there... Of course it is with great joy that we got to celebrate the birth of Christ, our savior, with Coop & Lulu. We had a GREAT time visiting with Aunt Lauren - who finally is getting a VERY well deserved shout-out on this blog, Kakie, Patrick, Daddy Jack, Janet, Ashley, Jason, Hank, Suz, Margaret & John.
What a whirlwind visit - Hank & Suz entertained magnificiently, Lauren "wow-ed" all with her gift-giving (antique Edinburough book - AMAZING! - please pick us as your recipient next year!), Jason fried a turkey, ring-toss occurred (as did John's mighty 187 in bowling), the '07 version of Spades resulted in a split between the boys and the girls, neighbors visited, Coop & Lulu opened their first presents, Buddy came-down sick =( , and that was just the start of it...

Yay! I made it in your blog...finally!
We've just now discovered the new blog. We, too, had a great time at Christmas. Hard to believe it's already been a month!
My first encounters with Lucy and Cooper were much fun. I'm excited that I get to be a part of their family!
And if I can teach them to say "Sic 'em" before "Hook 'em" I'll consider myself a success. "Reinhart Neebler" will be the second set of words we work on.
