Heartbeats

Round 15: June 2024

Ben Cooper is 46, Denise is 38, Riley is 14, Liam is 12, Brady is 5 and Tate is 3.

(Julia is 15.)

Narrated by Riley Cooper.

I'd like to think I wasn't as annoying as Liam has been after starting high school. He acts like he knows everything and everyone else knows nothing. Most of the times he really gets on my nerves.

Flake

Round 15: May 2024

Cal and Elissa Cooper are 62.

Narrated by Cal Cooper.

I got the flu this spring and it felt like I would never get better. Secretly I kind of enjoy lounging all day in my pajamas but I know Elissa was getting worried that I'd need to go to the hospital. Luckily we have a doctor in the family and Grace assured me - and Elissa - that it was just a regular flu and that I just needed to rest.

Lucky now

Round 15: April 2024

Tom Patterson is 31, Dixie is 30 and Liana is 8 months.

(Alexander and Bobbie are 73.)

Narrated by Tom Patterson.

I'm a stay-at-home dad now. Dixie stayed home with Liana for the first 6 months and now it's my turn. We'll most likely put her in day care after her birthday but for now it's been really great spending so much time with her and getting to know her.
