Cooper Girls

My mother and father both lived in a dorm called Cooper while at college, my mom lived up on the 4th floor with Jillian. Across the hall was Nicole and Sarah. Next door to the right was Megan. Next door the left was Tabitha and Jody. As as crazy as it sounds, these seven girls from all different walks of life became fast friends and family for each other during the four years of college. Between living together in Cooper, or in Village O, or on Water Street in the duplex, they have stayed friends over the years. Here is a photo of all the girls except for Jillian, she had to leave early, but it's one of the few photos of almost the whole group! Here is the breakdown, first is my mom (four months pregnant here!), then Tabitha (about one month pregnant here!), then Sarah, then Megan, then Nicole (six months pregnant here!) and Jody!

And now, they have been learning there is something in the water of Cooper Hall. Beware all you past residents of Cooper. If you EVER drank the water there, you could be infected too! This is quite serious and has already affected my mother, Megan, Tabitha and Nicole. And two of the boys that lived in Cooper, too! My dad and his roommate Micah have been infected, too! Are you curious yet what the symptom is? In the water inside Cooper Hall, there is something that causes you to........HAVE GIRLS HAVE CHILDREN! So far, of all the Cooper alumni everyone has had girls (pretend you never read about Jake in the post below, his dad was a Cooper alumni, too, but he must be an anomaly or something).
Meet my friend Alynna, who is Tabitha's daughter! My mom wants to try to do a photo of me like this, but realized she doesn't have a big basket..... Alynna is just a few months younger than me.
These are Nicole's two little girls, Katie and lil Reagan! So far, Katie is a spitting image of her mother! Reagan is just a few months older than me.
And this is Avery, Megan's little girl. I'm so surprised, she is not on the beach at all, this is in a studio! My mom keeps saying about how real the backdrops look now. When she was a little girl the backdrops were all cheesy looking! And Avery is going to be a big sister! On Friday, her mom found out she is going to have another GIRL! See, there is something in the water!

In September or October, all the girls are going to try to get together again. Since they live across the span of four states, one being CALIFORNIA, a gathering can sometimes be hard to plan. It sounds like all seven will not be able to get together at once, but I hope I can go along, I would love to meet them all!
