old soul cole

example #1 of how cole is the coolest 9 yr old ever:

i made cole watch andy rooney, the old troll who gives his sage weekly schtik during the last 5 of 60 mins on cbs sundays. i had no idea what subject andy would cynically target this evening, but after watching rooney's piece about traditional foods being "updated" with other flavors (orange cappuccino, vanilla coffee, raspberry oatmeal, ginger cereal, and the like), cole responded "why is that man so ANGRY?! why does he get so upset about food??" ya gotta love the kids' perspective....

by the way, this is how happy we have been since we signed for our new HOUSE!!!
