Okay, okay...

I've already changed the blog. I decided I would wait until at least after Thanksgiving before putting the Christmas colors in your face :) For now...this is a little more subtle.

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather!

Hudson

Hudson spent the night with us last night. We had SO much fun! He played outside on the slide, fort, and in his sandbox. Once the sun went down - which is REALLY early now, he watched football with Pops (photo below), and also went outside to see the fire Pop built in the firepit (photo right). He was so cute in his little jammies, stocking cap and house shoes.

The picture below is of him sweeping the floor. He loves to sweep!! Funny thing is, those are JB's Spiderman boxers and white shirt. It's hard to believe Hudson is already in his clothes.

Can't wait to see him at Christmas. This will be his first "real" Christmas. Last year he was really too young to know what was going on.

Tis the Season!

I thought I would change our blog to get everyone in the holiday spirit!

I can't believe Thanksgiving is around the corner...but even more so, that it is almost 2009! Where does the time go?

Here's to a wonderful holiday season!!!

Our Beautiful Grandson...

Just wanted to share!

This was in an email someone sent me this morning...

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.

Some people are sad, and even scared about our new President. What is done, is done and hopefully everyone will support him and do what we can to turn things around and make them right. There were a lot of African-American people that were overcome with joy last night. I have no idea how they feel because I'm not in their shoes. What I do know, is we have the freedom to vote...THANK GOD, we have the freedom to vote. And more people turned out to vote in this historic election than ever in our history. SO, if electing our first African-American President is what it took to make that happen, maybe it will make an impact on our young children and they will someday vote and realize the impact that has in our day-to-day lives. I was amazed at the number of young people I heard say - I'm not going to vote because I don't like either candidate. How sad...they have the right and the freedom, but they don't exercise it. Hopefully if there is anything this election did, it is to open the eyes of everyone and help them understand that we are ONE, and we all have the right and the privilege to vote. You may not like the outcome, but at least we all had the opportunity to be heard. I don't know about you, but I was proud to wear my "I VOTED" sticker yesterday. And I didn't mind standing in line for 1-1/2 hours. And I watched until the final speeches were made. It feels good to be able to say you were a part of history last night. Either way, whatever the outcome, it was historical. I hope everyone will see the good, overlook any hatred or negative thoughts, and speak only good things to our young children about the new President of the United States. It's important that we all come together - especially now.
