Oh, come on. You knew there would be more! (Still missing THE picture of Reese and her mommy. Will try to snag that later.)

I did pick Florida, but I was way off on who they’d be playing. It’s been quite a school year for Florida sports!

    I’m not prone to baby covetting, in the least, but man. I’m kind of stirred. No one tell ‘the Mrs’ please.

    Great pictures. Next you will be putting one of those wish I’d had my grandchildren first bumper stickers on your car.

    I dread listening to all the Florida fans every day down here. My only response is when you get 12 national championships in football come and talk to me!

    Peace.

    Matt’s hand over Reese’s head = God over humanity. Praise God for how He teaches His children He loves them by giving them children!

    Okay, you’re making me late for work! She is an angel. I know you must miss her like crazy!

    Lovely! Thanks for sharing.

    I LOVE Daddy/baby photos and this of Matt and Reese is just precious.

    Could your boys look any MORE like twins?

    My favorite is Matt with Reese sleeping on his chest. Remember that with your own babies? I could lay there for hours like that until they woke up. You can smell baby just by looking at that photo.

    congratulations.

    Joel:

    I said don’t mention my e-comment to my wife. I just got a call from her, from you. So much for confidentiality….jerk:)

    Awwhh . . . she’s so cute! And I’ve got a new one, too, just nine days older who is just the same size with dark hair, too! You and Diane and Tom and I are very lucky to have such lovely new baby girls in our families!

    God bless you all!

    And thanks to everyone of you from yesterday who responded to my comment about church here. It’s really hard sometimes, but I’m feeling better and am in better spirits today and I’m sure it’s because some of you have been praying for me. A few of you even took the time to email me and I really appreciate your caring love. Isn’t the Christian blogging world just the best!?!

    Every time I would leave my firstborn, Aimee, with my husband to go to the store. I would come home to find her on his chest and they were both asleep on the sofa. I use to call it pure love.

  15. 15 Kathy

    Mike and Diane, I just can’t look at the picture of y’all with Reese without the images being blurred by tears of joy for ya’ll.

    Too beautiful for words!!

    Love the little ‘boxing gloves’ in that first picture. :-D

    Good year for Florida, bad for us up here in Columbus, OH. 0-2 in national Championships against Florida this year. :-(

    Thank you for sharing her with us! What a beautiful family! So happy for you guys. KEEP SHARING! I love baby pictures!

    OK, Mike. Just wanting to make sure you’re really ready for the grandparenting thing. Here’s a quiz to test your grandpa aptitude:

    1) Sure you can name all the Beatles in order. But what about the Teletubbies?

    2) What thing should we never do while brushing our teeth, according to Barney?

    3) Is it ever appropriate to tell your grandchild “no” when she wants something?

    4) Are you still capable of rational thought?

    Answers:

    1) Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La La, Po (extra credit if you can name their colors and favorite things)
    2) Let the water run
    3) absolutely not! Repeat after me: “Yes, Reese. Whatever you say, honey.” A trip to IHOP at midnight for a sundae? Order her three.
    4) Any reason or logic you ever knew is gone. For good. Now have fun.

    It will be interesting how many miles you log between A and H in the next few years. Great pics.

    Congrats Mike!

    Oh, and Mike, great looking granddaughter. You guys look so proud. Congratulations to a great family.

  25. 25 juditko

    That’s Reese and Chris…one miracle holding another! Praise God.

  26. 26 Terri

    Well, she IS pretty….

    oh yeah, I was mistaken when I said Florida would never make it - it was just wishful thinking.

  27. 27 clint

    Well do you feel old know grandfather Cope

    Gator Boyz are HOT!!
    What a ride for longtime fans and for the bandwagon bunch also.
    I continue to be amazed at the humility, wisdom, and class of Billy Donovan.

    That takes really takes me back to the day my son was born. Wonderful.

  31. 31 Rex

  32. 32 Joan

    Well, you don’t know me, but I’ve known about you since my Harding days. Just wanted to say congratulations. She is beautiful.

  33. 33 Sarah (Pace) Chaffin

    Reese looks absolutely precious. Congrats!!!

    (Don’t forget to teach her how to throw a baseball in a few years. And you have to teach her how to whistle. That’s a very grandpa-thing to do!)

    I see a future ACU Wildcat!!
