Civic Duty Done!



We voted early this year! Dad waited about 20 minutes when he voted and I waited about 40 minutes. I used my drivers license to vote while dad only used a credit card! No pictures ID for him. 

The woman in front of him had three or four voter registration cards. The cards had been mailed to her house. She was figuring some type of fraud was taking place. Who knows! I will just hope the whole process does not turn out to be a bigger mess than the last election.

I'm Getting Bigger!

Sadie and I treated Jodie to a day of shop therapy on Friday! We saved
over $80 dollars after we get back all the rebates. I guess that makes
for a wonderful day.
Jodie came running in this morning with a big smile. "I have something
to wear!"

Jodie is as big as she was at seven months and she is only five months
along so far!

Wish her good luck flying with Sadie in two weeks to Australia and
then again in two weeks returning back to the USA. I think Sadie is
worried her seat will be taken by her little brother.
