Themes on our Blog
I do a little design work on occasion, and we thought we'd start having some fun with the blog changing the theme to fit seasons, holidays or events. Should be fun.
Abby
Abby is at home now of course, but she's still pretty rough. She is on a lot of pain meds still. Today she smiled for the first couple of times with being asked. She's starting to play some, and interact with the rest of us. For the first couple of days we really got not much more than blank stares.
Please continue to pray for Michelle as she juggles all of Abby's meds and schedule. She is up and down all night taking care of Abigail. Besides rubbing my back, keeping my snacks prepared and being my personal assistant especially while I'm golfing or out with my friends, she stays pretty tired. She's having a hard time getting my clothes back from the dry cleaner and last night my bath water wasn't warm enough. She's not trying to slack off, but the added stress of doing the bills and mowing the lawn is probably making it harder on her. I may give her a break and help her paint the house, but only if I'm not sleepy.
Abby is coming back to us, slowly but surely. We are starting
to see some genuine smiles, and she is interacting with us more
and more. Please continue to pray for her healing and strength.
Sami is a joy. She helps us with Abby and continues
to do her schoolwork every day.

Oh I so admire your patience when Michelle's obviously slacking off with her care for you. It's just so hard to be humble, isn't it. Seriously, I love that you have all managed to keep your sense of humour about you. Nice work. I think I see the hand of Jesus at work in your life. You sure have a beautiful family! God bless you, and may Abby continue her slow-but-sure recovery.
Brent, you will get flamed for the comment about the drycleaning and bath......hahahaha
You guys are in The Cook Family prayers :)
I just want to say WELCOME home. As I have told you before the kids are so cute. But I am in awe today with just how beautiful Sami is..wow she is such a beautiful young lady.
your a grown man so why can't you fix your snackes and your bath water and stay home from playing golf and mow the yard if you know she is swamped at taking care of her child???
Wow, Michelle is Superwoman! What are the odds that you would end up with two super heros in the same family? Praying for Abby, and all the rest of you too.
You are sooooo funny! She is wonder woman but are you kidding me? ;)
Praying for Abby and all the family and asking others to do so as well! Thanks for being salt and light in a dark and taste less world.

Brent you are a funny man!! What a wonderful wife and mother Michelle is!! Glad to hear Abby is starting to be more herself!! I will continue praying for her and the rest of the family!!
I read this post to my husband and here are his messages to you ...
Brent ... what a smart aleck!
Michelle ... don't give that guy any slack!
And, since I just read the comments after my husband left, I'll respond to ...
Anonymous ... have some fun! learn to laugh!
Brent ... keep that humor coming. In the midst of what all of you are going through ... it's amazing you can still find some humor to write about. I was in need of a good laugh today.
Many Prayers & Blessings,
Laurel :)

You crack me up! You didn't mention our manicure or facial. Seriously, you need to tell people. I mean, you seriously don't want them to think 'more' of you!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your humor. Keep it up. It's what makes you, YOU!
Boy all of us women sure have a tough act to follow! LOL!
Give Michelle a extra big hug from all of us slackers!
So glad you still share that precious humor of yours!
God bless you all!
Love,
Jill
Hey Brent,
You're a day late for Laughter Day. Glad to hear you can still cut up and find humor through it all. Praying for Abby (and you all too)

Thanks for the update on the family. We are praying for all of you.
Praying for you guys! Glad Abby is starting to come around a little.
I hope anonymous realizes you were KIDDING about ALL those things that Michelle does for you! Of course you're a better hubby than that!!!
I love the new header... so fun to see all the kids pictures!
and so glad Abby is starting to feel better!
Britt
ROFLOLOL @ the paragraph about Michelle serving you!
And even funnier, our friend "anonymous" thought you were serious!
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! :D
I am so relieved...thankful...happy for Abby and all of you that things are improving. Still praying!
Sheesh, it is really hard to find good help these days!
Yes, I'm sure you've been fitting in multiple holes of golf every afternoon. All that free time you have.
YEAH ABBY!
Love,
The Drays
So glad Abby is home and starting to come around, she is a strong, brave little girl. Sami is just beautiful!! I am so glad she is a big help with Abby, i am sure she loves and worries about her little sister. Brent, i was always told that anything within a mile of the house was "womans work) and yes.....a man said it . ha ha. I always threatened to take the whole bunch of kids exactly a mile down the road and set them down, but never did. ( only kiddin) Praying for Abby to grow stronger each day.
I would be ashamned to tell people what you are doing while your wife is killing herself doing all the work...shame on you. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?
ha ha ha ha ha ha! So glad sweet Abby is home. Praying she will be back to normal in no time! Blessings to you all!!!
Just because Abby is home now is no reason for Michelle to slack off like that. Who wears the pants in your family anyway?? :P
Glad to hear Abby is on the way to feeling better.
I can't believe anyone would take your comments about Michelle seriously but I bet you get several comments about them. I applaud you for keeping your sense of humor.
Continuing to pray for Abby and your family.

Thank you for stopping by my blog because that gave me a chance to come here and see yours! I will definitely keep your sweetie in prayer!!!!
HUGS,

Love the humor - love the pictures - love the hope and wisdome you give to all of us. Your post sounds sooo much like a post my husband would write about my "slacking" around the house! haha - he so loves and appreciates all that I do just like you do Michelle!
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!
So glad Abby is back home!

Brent, you are a MESS! (Although I see from the anonymous comments, people think you're SERIOUS. Tee hee, it's cracking me up. Prepare to be deep-fried, buddy!)
Sweet Abs, we're so glad you're home. Praying you feel better and better each day.
SpideyLandis, good thing they have you around, clearing the house of bad dudes!
Sami, my goodness gracious, child, you are a BEAUTY. Wow! And such a sweet, giving spirit. (Hugs.)
Michelle, you are superwoman! I get tired just reading about your day. I'm praying for you, my friend.
Hmmm... No Wonder SpideyLandis needs to contemplate! LOVES his mom so much his deciding where to start by picking up YOUR slack! ;)

Brent,
I love it that someone actually thinks you were serious. Where has America's funny bone gone to?
Oh, you forgot about Michelle taking out the trash, bringing you your slippers, cleaning the toilets, scrubbing the floor, picking your dirty socks up off the floor, cutting your hair... oh wait a minute... that wouldn't really be classified as work, wouldn it???
Sami, Landis and Abby are all beautiful kids. God has blessed you all with a great family.

ROFLOL (rolling on floor laughing out loud) I read this thinking...is anyone really going to be stupid enough to think you are serious? And YES, jackpot, you got this little gem from that very busy person Anonymous....
"your a grown man so why can't you fix your snackes and your bath water and stay home from playing golf and mow the yard if you know she is swamped at taking care of her child???"
Anonymous - you are an IDIOT. No really, you are.
Brent - paint that house you lazy bum!
Michelle - what's going on? What does a man have to do to get warm bath water???

SO glad Abby is home. It's so much better to be in the comfort of your own home.
Your children are beautiful!
I love reading your posts...an extra smile a day for anyone is good.
So glad Abby's smile is back :)
Now the comment about your wife doing all the work...sounds like MY husband (of course, talking about me)!!!
You are just as much of a rock as Michelle is....great parents!
Ha ha! That is soo funny someone thinks your serious! Wow! I am soo glad abby is home and on the mend. I cannot believe how gorgeous Sami is!! Holy cow she is beautiful...white teeth, plump lips, flawless skin..AMAZING, Im jealous!!Praying for your family!
