WE'RE HERE...

and you're not!

This is the reason you've not heard from me - too busy HERE to send postings out THERE! Just wait until we get back, you'll get lots of pictures to make up for the absence!

Can YOU Help?

There's a link to the right that you can use - the Helping Hand link - if you would, please. It's a simple request and it might help a bright young lady receive help with school. Cindy is a cousin of my daughter-in-law, Heather, and I am more than happy to help Heather and her family any way I can. If you would like more information on Cindy, click here to learn a little more about her! Tell your family and friends and let's see if we can help Cindy's dream come true!!

P.S. Remember, you can vote every day until October 15th!!

Happy Days!

Here's some random shots of my day watching kids play together. Notice how tall Caitlin is getting? She's quite the academic star - already made the principal's list this year! Jack is having fun trying to take Aunt Charlotte's phone from her. Ryan took a break to watch a minute of Indiana Jones.

Then Ryan wanted some close ups - I mean REALLY CLOSE ups! So, heeeeeeere's Ryan!!

And, for the grande finale, here's a little movie starring Ryan!!

And The Winner Was...

McCain/Palin. Unscientific, not a true representation of the nation (especially when it is known that the two Obama/Biden votes were made simply to see if I'd wonder who would vote for them), but it gives you an idea of the political makeup of my blog readers!! So, to all you McCain/Palin folks, HAPPY VOTING IN NOVEMBER!!

Copycat or Genetics?

Jamie says Lexi was opening her mouth everytime she pointed the camera at her because she saw Logan doing it for his "teeth" shot. Well, I ask you, as evidenced by the picture, could it be genetics?

Happy 30th birthday, Jonathan Michael!! You're still the same sweet, lovable, cutie-pie today!

STRAW POLL

I want in on the action. Everybody, every group, every commentator seems to be conducting a "straw poll" to see how the election is going. Well I'm conducting my own! There's no political affiliation here - just a simple vote - and they are anonymous. So, let's have an early election of sorts and see what comes up! Alert your family and friends and ask them to vote. Campaigning is allowed!



EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!!

Sorry I can't give you a cool purple finger, but you'll have the satisfaction of taking part in the American political process!
