Especially for Grandma and Grandpa Cook

You know what I love about kids? They decide that they want to do something and then they DO IT! I wish that I carried through the way they do. On Saturday, Riley decided he wanted to write a book. He quickly began illustrating it. It's an 18 page book mind you, with an illustration on the cover and the back too. He spent two strait hours drawing the pictures.
Note to self: A convenient place to store you pen while not in use.

Riley finished all the pictures in one sitting. The next day, he colored all of them. Then he dictated the story to Lane. Voila! Riley has finished his book in just 3 hours. If you want to read the book, just double click on each image to enlarge the pictures.

Very cute. One question though. Who took that picture of Riley at the table? I see you and Valane sitting on the sofa in the background. Did Jeremy take this??

I know I've said this before, but Riley looks JUST like you! It is so funny. Jeremy is definitely Valane's son. I don't see Tyler enough to know. :)

In that picture, it's kind of hard to tell, but that is not Lane, it's Farrah. Valane is in fact taking the pic. That would be funny though if Jeremy did it.

Thanks for saying Riley looks like me. Most people tell me he looks like Valane, which is good but I like to hear that he looks like me too.

The book is adorable. I wish so much I had documented my kids lives like you do. They will love seeing the cute things they did and the stuff they made. Riley is awesome!
