"We are not enemies, we are friends...as Americans, we are one"

No matter how you voted today, no matter what you feel tonight, please start your day tomorrow an American citizen. Get behind our new President of the United States of America, and stand proud. We are not enemies, we are not two seperate parties.
We are Americans, we are brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, cousins, aunts and uncles, lovers, friends, and family. We are proud of our country and our heritage. If your nominee lost you should feel your disappointment tonight, but let it go tomorrow and be one together. Be proud, be supportive, be American!!
We, as a free country, have elected a new President! Lets welcome him and support him, he is OURS!!
Yahoo Obama, Yahoo America, Yahoo Freedom!!

Turtle Babies

Fisher & Truman were little turtles for Halloween this year. Fisher wore his costume every day for about a week before the big night, and wants to wear it to bed every night since! They were both awful cute in their matching suits!
The local mall hosted a trick-or-treat, for a few hours in the evening the children got to go store-front to store-front in the safe, warm indoors to start their holiday in comfort! I loaded the boys up in their wagon and off we went. Truman had his own little bag (for me) but Fisher had his hands in both bags!
As soon as a piece of candy hit his bag, Fisher was working to open it. I was scrambling to check everything before he got his little hands on it! Before he had anything half open though, he was given another piece, would then drop the first and begin work on the new arrival! Truman was content to watch. His little eyes were as busy as Fisher's little hands!
As soon as we got home from the mall Trick-or-treat, Fisher and I walked around the block together, just the two of us, while Truman took a little snooze with Yaya. Uncle David, Hali & Bryar came over later in the evening and the three of them and Christian tagged along with the boys and I in our wagon through the neighborhood on a real door to door Trick-or-Treat. We had so much fun!
Almost immediately after leaving the driveway, the wagon ride lolled Truman right to sleep. He missed most of the scenery, but he sure looked comfy! His little costume was very snug and warm and he really enjoyed the ride! David was dressed as Sweeney Todd, Bryar was a little pink daisy, Fisher and Truman were in their turtle costumes, I was G.I. Joe and Christian was a rock star. We made quite a group of characters.
Happy Halloween

4th folder, 4th picture

This is a picture of Truman, taken shortly after he started pushing himself up on his skinny little arms! Jack, Paps' and Yaya's black lab, had just drive-by-licked Truman's face, which explains the "what the crap was that" look that Truman is wearing here! It was too funny!
I was tagged by Katherine to do a 4th folder, 4th picture post. I tag Sarah, Yaya, Amanda, Jerid and Jesse to do the same! Open your fourth pictures folder and select your fourth picture. Then tag four more people! It was fun to indulge in a little random silliness!
