the Cooper family

2014 - Jack Cooper is 35, Jillian Cooper is 32, Jackson is 8, Rachel is 6, Piper is 3.

She loves all of her children equally, but differently. Jackson is her firstborn. She is a child herself when he's born, only 24 years old. Rachel comes along less than two years later, and she is overwhelmed; two cribs, two crying children, two sets of bottles to prepare. But now Jackson and Rachel take the bus to school everyday, and she's left home alone with only one child. Jillian gives her youngest her maiden name, Piper.

Piper is such a sweet, happy child. She's especially close to her brother Jackson. He loves playing with her, making her laugh.

Rachel is the middle child, the one left out by Jackson and Piper's closeness. But then she's always been her father's girl.

I'm still having a hard time getting stories out of these characters. But the kids are really cute! I'm hoping the stories will come as I get to know the characters better and as the children get older (and I have fewer diapers to change).
