TEA anyone?

T. axed E. nough A. lready

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.

You would cry too if it happened to you!

Shawn began to fake cry in protest of an interview O'Reilly gave with a cast member of the Mary Tyler Moore show. She announced that at 70 years old, she posed nude for a health magazine. Shawn was quick to protest, and Laralei was quick to join. One look at her dad crying, and Laralei let out a wail that quickly called our attention, complete with tears. We had one very distraught little girl as she sounded the alarm that her daddy was in distress! Poor little thing. We quickly calmed her and had a good laugh. Her response was a total surprise to us.

Too cute!

Well, I am obviously biased, but Shawn took this picture the other day, and I had to share it because I think that it is just soooo cute!

America's Funniest Home Video

During a particularly messy dinner of oatmeal, Shawn captured a hilarious moment of Lee spitting out her food in disqust. It was halarious, so we submitted it to America's Funniest Home Videos. We are not able to post the video on the web until after they have chosen it (or not) for their show. Stay tuned for America's Funniest Home Video this season to see if they choose our Little Lady Lee.
