The Cochran Family: September 2007

Well, the summer of 2007 is winding down. We finished the season with some fun and some work around the house. As you'll see below, they keep growing and growing and continue to make Hilary and me smile everyday. Hope everyone is doing well.

Ok...Alex is going to see this blog someday and head straight to therapy and blame everything on his dad...but I just couldn't resist (he also paints his nails!).

A wool hat in 85 degree weather....and it's pink! You might assume that Jim is starting to think that he should be a bit more involved when Hilary selects Alex's outfits for the day...but then where would he get all these funny pix?

We went to Valley Forge at the end of August and Riley decided she would break into George's cabin.

Unfortunately for Riley and Alex, General Washington came home early and caught them both red-handed (Riley was hiding George's wooden dentures behind her back).

Another historic building that we should not have been roaming around in...

....but we made ourselves at home anyway.

Yes...they're standing on the same step. Riley obviously gets her height from her dad.

For some reason he still cannot explain, Jim decided to paint the house....only took 9 days though!

Goodbye florescent yellow siding!!!!!

Alex and Riley went to their first day of pre-pre-school (is that a real thing?) on September 10. They both had a blast! Although Hilary and Jim have absolutely no idea what they do in class because they refuse to talk about it.

Alex in "tough guy" mode!

No matter what's going on...Riley will always find time to steal a kiss!

We spent a day at Dorney Park (thanks Piper!) recently. The kids and Hilary had tons of fun on the rides. Jim isn't the biggest fan of rides...but he hung in there.
