They both like dance. Brielle was in beginning/intermediate ballet and Brooke in Combo2 Ballet/Jazz/Tumbling. Brielle has since switched to the musical theater dance class that has them dance and sing. She is enjoying that class more.

Grandpa Cotter

Chad's dad, Charles got diagnosed with leukemia about mid-way through June of this year. This was a Sunday dinner at our house with all the Cotters. He was going into the hospital the next day for chemo. He's now working through the effects of chemo. The first dose was very hard on his body and didn't kill off enough of the cancer. He would have had to do even more intensive chemo and the first round about killed him. He opted to stop the chemo treatment. He is taking things one day at a time.
