Fall Fun

Last fall, we went to Suzy's house to play with Tristan in the leaves. Since we live in a new build, we have no leaves falling to jump in. Emma had so much fun last year, so Suzy and I set an impromptu play date so the kids could play in the leaves. Mark had raked all the leaves in the front yard in to a pile and covered them with a tarp so they wouldn't blow away. Emma and Tristan had fun jumping in the leaves, although they had more fun last year. This year is was COLD! I still got some great pics, and we got to spend time with our friends!

The Election...

This will be my first and last post on the Presidential Election. I have been struggling to put in to words my disappointment and fear associated with Barack Obama being elected. I was reading a blog that I frequent this morning, and her words said it all. She can say it so much more eloquently than I, so here is the link to her post:
