Purdue Spring Fest

Laralei, Shawn and I went to Purdue's Spring fest. Laralei enjoyed the animals. The weather was beauitful and we really enjoyed our time together. Laralei's favorite were the baby piglets. They ran around a lot and made funny noises. We also saw a 2 day old lamb, horses, llamas, cows as well as the baby chick and the goat that sniffed Laralei's shoe.

Laundry Days

Laralei got herself into this basket all on her own. She was playing, tipped over the laundry basket, and somehow ended up with it over her head! She had a lot of fun trying to get out.

Shadow Games

Laralei discovered her shadow.

Thanks Uncle Larry, Julie and Alyssa for the outfit!

TEA anyone?

Wednessday Shawn, Lee and I rallied with thousands of other Americans at tea parties in Lafayette IN and Indianapolis IN. The rallys began with prayer, the pledge of Allegance, and singing of the National Anthem.

I was not the only one with tears rolling down my face as we recognized and thanked those in the crowd who had served in the armed forces, helping preserve American freedom.

Lee's diaper bag held a sign stating, "American Baby: Born Free, or In Debt?". She loved the music and crowds of happy people! You can see both sides of Shawn's artistic sign as pictured here.

We as a people have been passive too long. It is time, today, to commit to becomming an active participant in our republic. Government must be responsible to the people.

Pay attention to the voting records of those running for office. Last election cycle, when Congress held a 9% approval rating, 92% of incumbants were re-elected. This is insanity. We need to find canidates that are not beholden to lobbyists, and who are not for sale to special interest groups. Seek for such canidates, and then help organize support for them. They will need our support if they are not for sale!

It is our sacred duty as Americans to help preserve the Constitution that protects our God given freedom. We must do all in our power to propel the cause of freedom, and sustain it for the sake of our children, and our children's children.

As we pray for Freedom and a spirit of unity accross this great nation, may God elarge our efforts to fight for this Divinely inspired cause.

Uh Oh!

Doctor day

Laralei went to the dr's today. She is doing well developmentally and weighs 18 pounds!

Boys Make Girls Cry

Friends joined us yesterday for an amazing conference. Their 4 year old (very cute) son was completely taken with Laralei and kept kissing her on the forehead and cheek! Everytime, Laralei cried in protest! It was so cute, Laralei's first kiss. Shawn nicknamed the little boy Georgie Porgie.

Georgie Porgie, Puddin' and Pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry,
When the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgie ran away.
