Precious Mommy Moments

Lincoln just said "bouillabaisse!"  Don't get too excited, he also said, "dko dko dko byafathaba." 

Yesterday we were at Grammy and Papa's house, and I had him in his walker while I was checking my email.  He would fly by the office repeatedly.  I peeked my head around the door and there he was, racing (maybe chasing) Milo up and down the hallway.  When he got to each end he would hesitate then start giggling.  Before nap I was singing to him and feeding him his bottle.  I started singing "This Little Light of Mine," a song I don't think he'd heard before.  When I got to the part "Don't let Satan (blow) it out" he cracked up!  I repeated the blowing out of my finger for about 10 minutes, each time with him laughing louder and longer!  

These are the most precious little moments that I will carry with me always.

All We Can Do Is Pray

I am just grateful that the campaigning is over!  No more "yes/no" proposition ads...

Even though the election didn't go as I had hoped, I will support President Obama because that is my duty as a US citizen.  All I can do is pray and have faith that he will turn to God and make decisions that will lead our country in wisdom and morality.  I'll pray protection over him and his family.  I'll pray for miracles in our economy; in our nation.   All we can do is pray. 

After John McCain's speech last night, I was touched and felt confident that my vote meant something personally.  It's unfortunate he did not win, but God has a plan for him.  I am certain.
