Cooper Birthday Madness!!
Cake 1:
Cake 2:
I got to go get Jenna and bring her back here for five days, for Cooper’s birthday, which we just celebrated with family on the day itself. Then we had another party the following weekend for his little friends at chunky cheese’s. Cooper had a great time and so did Jenna while she was here. The first cake was a prototype for the second, larger one. Cooper wanted carrot cake with a spongebob on a blue background. Im a DIY kinda guy so I took a shot (or two) at it myself rather than spend $$ at a bakery…
On a more heavy topic, I saw a news report the other night about a family who’s little daughter’s life was saved because they had heard about Natasha Richardson’s death, and the circumstances around it. What happened was, the father was hitting golf balls and accidentally beaned his little daughter in the temple. The little girl was fine for a day or two, but then started complaining about a headache i think the second night at bedtime. The mom had seen the Richardson story on TV and decided to play it safe by going to the emergency room. The girl was rushed into brain surgery where a slow-bleed subdural hematoma was patched up and the little girl’s life was saved, literally at the last moment. If they hadn’t brought her in on complaint of that headache, she never would have woken up the next morning.
All I can say to all that is, the Richardson family can take a small bit of comfort in that Natasha’s death, and the media coverage of it, absolutely and concretely saved that little girl’s life. Nothing more to say about that beyond the obvious (wipes tear)…
