Changing Seasons

One of my favorite seasons is fall. I have really missed this cool changing season this year. Memories of crisp weather, warm potato soup at LaMadelines, and a trip to Sweet Berry Farm to buy pumpkins are what I typically think of. Setting out fall berries and pumpkins & a colorful wreath of fall leaves hanging on the door help get me in the mood for the beginning of a season of joyful holidays. This fall, there was lots of change, but it wasn't the leaves and weather for me... our family made some big changes! Drew & I both have new jobs. Seth started first grade & Karsyn started day care. We sold our house, moved (stayed temporarily with some very sweet family members), bought a new house, moved again, and are still climbing over boxes to find things. So, although the weather is still trying to make a change and the leaves where we live now are still mostly green. . . the Cosper Crew has made some colorful, life changes instead.

I know it has been forever since I posted pictures (believe me... I have a ton to catch up on), but I'll get around to it a little bit at a time... so keep checking for new changing events in the Cosper Crew household.

Packing & moving. . .

K needed a last minute bath in the kitchen sink before the moving truck left (gotta love when the 18 month old finds a can full of Dr. Pepper - an instant "sticky" bath). . .

Our new house. . .

Kitchen Facelift

I was asked recently, "What happened to 'Craft of the week?'" Well, I guess summer did! We did paint the kitchen in June though, so that will have to count as Craft of the Month. (How's that CJ?)



The plain almond walls from before. . .

June at a glance...

Okay, really, does anyone else feel like the summer is flying by too quickly? It's hard to believe the summer is almost half over because it feels like it just started. So, June came and went in a blur. We stayed busy I guess. Camps, the beach, visiting family, etc... Encounter was amazing as always, and I have to give a shout out to the most amazing worship leader I know - THOMAS - You did a great job! The beach was... well, a memory. We didn't get to play in the waves very long before the stinging rain began to pelt away at us. I think Seth had more fun in Gran's pool later that day anyway, and of course he loved watching Wall.E too. We also saw Kung Fu Panda (another new favorite for Seth).

Water play days in the back yard are also a great way to beat the heat (don't forget your sunscreen next time Sarah). I have learned from Seth that it is necessary to load up all the water guns you can find when starting a water war! Although, when you have a care free little sister, she just continues to play and ignores or giggles at the water that keeps hitting her in the face and back. (see pics below)

We also had a chance to go visit Granny when she was in the hospital (broken ankle). Seth crawled up in the bed with her and they watched Enchanted. (This is such a totally cute movie btw!) How do you know he loves you....

'Tutu' Cute!

Craft of the Week... a tutu! Karsyn was invited to a princess birthday party "in costume." Needless to say, the Disney princesses have not hit our house yet, so I decided a fairy princess would work just as well and I could make her a tutu for the party. Well, the tutu turned more into a dress because I made it longer (hopefully she can wear/play with it for a while) but I still think she looks pretty cute with her flower wand in hand.

Graduation

Congratulations Annie!

We had a blast during our visit and are so proud of you receiving your masters. I am confident that you will shine your light for God throughout the counseling profession and many people will be blessed by God through you.

I have also added some funny pics of Karsyn below... she started wearing her fruit/veggie basket on her head as a hat the other day... so funny!
