Inauguration Day!

Thanks to Carrie and Johnny, for having us over for a great Inauguration Day brunch today! It was fun to get the babies together to help celebrate this historic moment for our country. There is a huge challenge ahead, but I trust that Obama will help to lead the government and the people of this country to better times. Welcome President Obama!

Congrats Mom & Turtle Wurtle

Congratulations to my mom for a prize in the second annual Poop Super-Crafty Halloween Costume Contest (as run by a parent's blog on SFGate) http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/parenting/detail?blogid=29&entry_id=32281
Yay! I loved the costume and so did the readers on the Poop :-)

Best Crafty Costume That's Clever but Not So Overly Polished That It Makes the Rest of Us Feel Bad For Our Lack of Martha Stewart-ness.

Hooray!

Thanks to everyone for voting and making the best choice for America. It will be a long road, but this is the first step to helping our country be the best that it can be.

We voted today. Make sure that you do too!

We walked down to our polling station on this nice crisp morning, before David left for work. There was a short line of about ten of our neighbors in front of us, which moved very quickly. Usually there is not a line, so hopefully this means that there will be a great turnout today. If you haven't already done so, make sure you get out to vote today. Go Obama!

Get Out and Vote!

Hi all! Hope that everyone is doing well. Sorry for the delay in posting lately. We have had a bug traveling around the household, so the posts have taken a backseat to that. Thankfully, it all seems to be resolved and we are healthy once again. So, with that said, I wanted to get this voting post in before the elections are upon us!

Alex has been surrounded by this exciting Presidential election since the day he was born....literally! He was kind enough to allow David and I to cast our votes in the "Super Tuesday" primary, before he showed up on what we would dub, "Fabulous Wednesday". Since that time, he has attended some Obama functions with his little friends and their moms, and I'm sure he will even help me make a few phones calls before election day. We urge you to get out and vote.

We need change in our country, as has been even more clearly evidenced in the past few months. The economy, our healthcare system, our relations with other countries around the world, among so many other things, are all in shambles right now. Barack Obama can help to lead us in the direction of regaining stability in these areas. Providing our fellow citizens with healthcare, helping those who have stumbled upon hard times, building better schools and rebuilding infrastructure which is aged and crumbling is not socialism....it is what America is all about. We all want these things for our children and our grandchildren, so this is the time to start rebuilding.

All of us are real Americans. We study hard, we work hard, and we accomplish. We remember our past and we look towards our future and we stand together and lend a helping hand when our neighbor needs it. That is America. Please go out and vote Obama on November 4th!
