Mom is taking a long time to post new pictures, so I will...

So these are not maybe the pictures that these Coxes would choose for themselves, but of the pictures I had of them saved on my computer, there wasn't much selection. I guess I need to take more of them. They are all a little out dated, but they are still cute. At least it is something new.....

Melanie lied :(

I am truely sorry to everyone who(once) so avidly read our blog.
The reason there haven't been pictures on our blog for over 2 months is due to the fact that our computer is being fixed and is taking an insanely long time to do so.

I promise as soon as occasion permits there will be new pictures on the computer.
Until then, however, you will all just have to suffer the loss of not seeing anything of us.

Again, sorry.

Melanie lied :(

SOON!

Hello
This is Mel everyone!
I just wanted you all to stop despairing for the lack of newness on our blog,
for we will be posting soon.
Or so I believe.
We have a large collection of fun photos on mom's digital camera device, which will be loaded on the computer soon.
So cheer up! Put on a happy face!
You will see newness from us very very soon!

Soccer freaks

Melanie loved her soccer season and is really sad its over.They didn't lose any games, and tied only 1 game all season. She learned so much and feels like she became a better player this year. She mostly plays defense. In the championship game it started to lightning and the game was cut about 20 minutes short. Her team still won, 2-1, but since the game wasn't completed so she didn't quite feel like they won, if that makes sense.

Suzie also loved her soccer season. Their team was nearly undefeated with a couple ties and only 1 loss. She played mostly midfield and forward.

EARS PEIRCED!

Suzie convinced mom that since she stopped biting her nails, she should get her ears pierced. However, she says its NOT going to end up how it did with Alisa. She really is gonna stop. :D It was also the end of her amazing soccer season.

What's up with Mel?

Don't worry - if you look closely, it's just Howard. And... She may be trying to start a new fashion trend

or maybe she's just having fun with hand-me-downs (or in this case -ups, since they're from a younger but taller friend), but at least her - um- ensemble is modest! Memories are made on Sundays... At least in this house ;-)

Suzie's last Black Gems show night

Oops, I meant above. See what's below. (I feel so confusing...)

Those crazy young'uns

The first really nice day, and we find Suzie and Abi soaking up sun. Yeah, Abi loves to snuggle up - or is Suzie snuggling Abi?

Below, you'll see Suzie at her most charming, along with the other Black Gems, at the last show of the year. (Sorry, no performance shots -- no way to get close enough; you'll have to come home for a visit to see her in action!)

Notice the nuts...

Dad's "shining happy people"

Scenes at the Gibbys after David joined the family- and while Granny was there

Here's a sweet moment with our new mommy, her new baby, and his biggest fan: "Are you tute? You are tute!"

Who knows if he'll be a thumbsucker, but on his first day of real wakefulness, li'l Davey tried out his thumb. And Grandma caught it! And Natalie is showing off her new gap--losing teeth is fun for a few years...

What sisters do late at night...

A new box of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch was cause for a late night silly session for Mel, AJ and Alisa... They may grow up and go away, but getting together (in this case at Gibby's)almost guarantees girls will be giggling. ;->

Three of the Four Musketeers...

Surprise visits brought these three cousins together at the Gibbys the weekend after David was born. Though size is not the giveaway of the difference in ages, their demeanor is! Charlie is 2 and 1/2 mos., Stella is 6 and 1/2 mos., and David is 1 week! Xander, not in the picture but the fourth member of the Cousinteers, is 7 months and lively as Stella! (See the new blog, adamzwithaz.blogspot.com for updates on him and his ever-lovin' parents...)

Mel needs to be represented today too; doesn't she look sweet and beautiful? (No? Well, don't worry, she's not emo.) The lock in her face just -- happened. This little room is where she lives since we got high speed... (In truth, we are updating together, and we've argued about what to put on each picture. So consider these additions a joint venture! ;-} )

Shan and Xander's visit.

Look how juicy he is! That's Suzie in the bathtub with him in MOM's swim suit.

Grandpa also enjoyed the visit from Shan and "Mr. Xander." Duh! He's a pretty fun grandpa.

Xander and Shannie came to visit and we took too many pictures, but now we can share a few so you can see him now.

Harpo Marx? Or Suzie?

Actually, it's Suzie doing her best Harpo - on a Sunday night (of course; as every family member knows, that's when the crazies come out in our house).
