"Don't stop, believin' !"
"Up in the air, Junior Birdman" 
Charlie as zebra at the party (the British pronounce it "zey-bra" as opposed to "zee-bra", so all of the kids were confused about what Charlie was)
Pirate Clementine
kids doing crafts at the party.
Lucy outside at the sandbox. It was in the 60's on Halloween!
So much has happened today (and yesterday) that I haven't had anytime to blog! Still on Halloween pictures. So, I'm about 6 days behind - but I'll still comment :)
1. It snowed last night.
Of course, the big news is President-elect Obama. As RKZ and I watched his acceptance speech, we were again struck by his authenticity. I love that he seems to love his wife and family so much and I honestly believe that he wants the best for our country. I am happy that the racial barrier has been broken. Most of you won't be shocked to know that I didn't vote for him - but I don't feel bitterly toward Mr. Obama and I think it would be letting God down to slander our new leader in any way. I am wary of his promise to pass a bill rejecting any state limits on abortion (he promised to pass this - FOCA - it is well documented and easy to find), I am not sure that socializing the medical system even more is the answer to all of its woes (I live in Canada and we have plenty of problems) and I do not know that setting the new President up as the savior of the world will do him any favors. These are meant as concerns I have regarding policy and my fellow citizens - not slams against Mr. Obama as a person. I will support the leader of our country. I will teach my children to respect him and I am still so proud to be a US citizen. And I think authentic Christianity is about loving even (and especially) the people who do not agree with me or see the world my way. God loves Mr. Obama as much as He loves me - and I will pray, always, for our new President to do well and to be the best leader possible.
This vote also motivates me to be more authentic & active regarding what I think is important - I will never stop fighting for immigrants or the unborn - the two groups of people who I believe simply are never given a voice.
Also today, Buck had an EEG test. But after that rant, it probably needs its own post :) More tomorrow on that.
