Cobb News 2009
Louis Gray Cobb arrived July 23rd 2009 and we are so grateful for him. He came on Anthony’s birthday, which means Anthony got what he wanted, a baby brother on his birthday. It was adorable Anthony was so excited to share his birthday with his brother, and they will always have that bond.
If anyone is curious, the sleeping arrangements have improved slightly, we still all share one room, but Ava and Anthony have moved off the bed and onto their crib mattresses. Some nights it is chaotic, but I love my family being so close. Secretly I think Tony loves it too, but he would never admit it. Louie is still sleeping with us in the bed. So we have three bedrooms but we all sleep in the one room, the great thing is the other rooms always stay clean. At night we all tell each other goodnight like the Waltons. Good night Ma, good night Pa, good night Anthony, good night Avabelle, good night Louie. But my favorite thing is to listen to the kids say their prayers before they go to sleep. Their voices are so sweet, innocent, and sincere.
Tony (a.k.a. Gray) – Tony is still working from home for M.H.A., he only had to travel back to New Jersey three times this year (yes, I still cry everytime he goes). I am thankful everyday for him being home (especially when he changes Avabelle’s diaper). The kids and I really enjoy having lunch with him everyday, and we really like the summer when he can have a picnic with us outside.
Rita (a.k.a. Mom) – I am staying home this school year to spend time with the kids. It’s super busy everyday, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I enjoy cuddling, reading books, and putting puzzles together with the kids. I am still working on trying not to smother them, I am starting to get the hint now when they tell me, “mom I can’t breath stop hugging me. “
Anthony (a.k.a. Runk Runk) – He is now four years old and loves to play outside in the snow. He started preschool this year and is liking it very much, he is blossoming into a good hearted young little man. He still loves anything that has to do with cars, and he can entertain himself for hours, as long as sister isn’t in the equation. He is very inquisitive about everything, and has an answer for everything. The other day he said his stomach hurt, I asked why, he said it’s because he’s getting old.
Avabelle (a.k.a Avacakes, Avarella) – She is two and loves to sing, dance, and talk, and talk, and talk. We took a trip to Castle Rock and she talked and sang the entire trip there, and back. I am so sorry to whoever has had to listen to me talk non-stop, and I know there are a lot of you. I understand now what you had to go through with me when I was little(because I’ve changed so much). Ava is just sunshine and very loving, she loves to hug everyone. She is a very happy girl and will tell her brothers, mom, and dad that she loves us sooooo much, or that she loves us tooo much, almost every day.
Louie (a.k.a. bon bon) – Louie is 4 months old and loves to smile and coo. I am truly amazed at how much he smiles. Tony thinks it’s because I don’t ever put him down. I think it’s because Ava and Anthony are always entertaining him. The real reason is probably because we’re all crazy in this family and he’s laughing at all of us.
Jasmine (a.k.a. Roo Roo the dog) – Jasmine is getting old and has arthritis in her hips, but she still gets around and absolutely loves the kids. She is in pain sometimes, but she still has that dog smile when she is with the kids. We all love her dearly especially the kids, Anthony loves to have Jasmine in the same room as him. I think Jasmines favorite kid is Avabelle, because she is the messiest eater.
So with that we would like to wish all of you that made it through our long family letter Happy Holidays, and to those of you who are not still reading this, Happy Holidays to you too! We wish all of you a safe and healthy New Year, and we hope to see you soon.
Hugs, The Cobb Family.
