Wow! My mommy and daddy must really be good people because so many people that they know are showering me with love and I'm not even born yet! On February 6th, a group of my mommy's very good friends came together and hosted a "Welcome Party" for me. Auntie Yvette (aka Divastyle), Auntie Zuri, and Auntie Kimbra (who lives in Memphis), and Aunt Kim did an awesome job of planning this special event for me. The food was delicious, the cake was fabulous, and the games were short and fun. So many people have given my mommy compliments on how nice the event was that she keeps smiling. It was very cold that day so a special thank you goes to all those who braved the frigid temperatures. Thank you also to those who traveled from outside the Nashville area- both of my grandmommies, Aunt Jerrell, Momma Turner, Miss Shalondra, Miss CC, Miss Melissa, Auntie Kim (and Naomi), Aunt Rita, and Miss Lana, Miss Shanise, and anyone else that I may have forgotten.

As usual, my mommy got emotional and shed some tears. (She seems to do that a lot lately) There were a lot of people at my "Welcome Party" who have prayed with/for my mommy for my existence. It really meant a lot to her for those special people to share in my upcoming debut. Thank you so much Mrs. Perry, Ms. Marian, Ms. Cristy, Ms. Kim, and Ms. Tracie. My mommy loves you so much!

My forgetful mommy and daddy didn't have the memory card in the camera! So, enjoy the limited pictures that we have!

Love, Master Dallas John Cooks
