August 2009 was the first Cooper/
McCord Cousin Reunion event in Glide. Kim and Janie were dear hosts at their home on the
Umpqua river. It was a fun day with the cousins. We don't see each other very often except at events like weddings and funerals so this was a treat to have with the kids. The
Umpqua river was beautiful and the kids enjoyed getting wet. The cousins had many stories to tell of how they played in the river when they were kids. All of Gary's siblings were there to enjoy. We stayed in
Roseburg and came home the next day.
This was the year of the dentists for the Coopers. Gary and Debbie both had root canals and crowns. We both need more, but waiting until next year:) Ian had surgery twice~ once to pull a tooth and once in the hospital to pull another tooth, put in spacers and crown 6 more teeth. Grant had just a few cavities, but he has had the 2 bottom teeth out and now a top tooth. This photo session started with getting Grant's picture of his missing tooth and ended up to be a crazy Cooper camera moment. I don't think we will forget 2009 and all the dental woes it had to offer.
