I love the southern California light in the late afternoon/early evening. We took this trip to celebrate Jackson's 6th birthday and to have a bit of a summer vacation.
Welcome to the Cook Family Roll Call blog. Inspired by the birth of our daughter, Delaney, this space is used to post pictures and thoughts on the growth of our family! The title comes from our son Jackson, who enjoys spontaneously shouting out everyone's name, a moment we like to call "Cook Family Roll Call!"

Blue Steel
How do you expect the children to learn if they can't even fit into the building?!
Send me your blue steel look - you know you want to. I'll post it right here!
