'Allo, Governor!

So, McCain? Sarah Palin?

There's a woman I think I can get behind, once I learn a little bit more about her. What I already know impresses me immensely.

And after being depressed over a Pat Buchanan article this morning regarding the media making race a bigger issue than it should be and the possible ramifications, having a woman on the Republican ticket is going to help counterbalance the ridiculous "You didn't vote for Obama? YOU'RE A FILTHY RACIST, AREN'T YOU!" arguments.

Delightful! And my favorite? A press release from the Democrats skewering Palin for her lack of foreign policy experience.

Um, can we say the pot is calling the kettle black? Just a teensy bit? At least she's a governor. That's no small beans, after defeating two former governors in Alaska for the position. Heaven forbid the Republicans "put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency". I suppose we should just vote for a presidential candidate with no experience instead. Good grief. Talk about grasping at straws.

They're just ticked he picked a woman. Tee hee!

IT MOVED!

The placenta is nowhere near the cervix anymore. Woohoo!

And if anybody wants to see more pictures, check out Josh's picasa page, it has all the photos from forever ago. The latest album is titled Summer 2008. Pretty complicated, I know.

I'm going to go take a nap to celebrate. :-D

Our Summer

We have some fun summer photos for you. Including our trip to Dorney Park with Aunt Mary Kay and cousin Louis. Enjoy!


Josh got to ride all the fun rides with Guy!




I just love how grown-up he looks right after we cut his hair (this was last week)

New post forthcoming

With fun info and pics and stuff.

In the meantime, I'm just being pregnant. And running errands. And getting my house back in order after the trip. Oh, and trying to wean the little one who has just started a nap strike. He's also learning new words at a super fast rate (two this morning already!)

Love y'all!

Wednesday!

Assuming no tragic delays occur, we will be in Provo Wednesday evening.

WOOHOO!!!

I'm so ready for a normal bedtime again, and my own kitchen, and my raw milk, and my FRIENDS, and a playground outside my front door. So, so, so very ready.

He's home!

Seth got home from the hospital last night. It was a bit of a comedy of errors trying to get him home--Mutti had to fit two chairs and maneuver Seth into the car with the help of a skinny twenty-something female nurse. Which they did successfully.

Then I tried to move our car out of the driveway to give more room to maneuver Seth. The car wouldn't start!

We had to wait half an hour for Vati, Josh, and Liesl to get back from a youth temple baptisms trip so they could help unload Seth.

And it was pouring rain! But he's home now and feeling much better, and so far as I can tell recovering rather successfully.

I don't have much more to say, except that I found a great website for those who are looking for an authoritative nutritional guide during pregnancy to prevent toxemia, preeclampsia, placental abruption, and premature birth. Yes, diet DOES have an effect on the health of a pregnancy, despite what your doctor might tell you.

Just talk to a farmer who breeds animals. Any animal he wishes to breed will be fed the optimal diet in order to prevent complications--and it works in most cases.

If you're interested, it's a diet developed by an OB/GYN and used in his practice very successfully. Check out www.blueribbonbaby.org for more information. I'm planning on implementing it ASAP to prevent gestational diabetes and preeclampsia--two conditions that based on my last pregnancy I have cause to worry about.

Not much going on . . .

Seth is still in the hospital post-op, and today and tomorrow they're testing his kidney function.

So Josh and I are keeping Guy busy and happy, and staying on top of dishes, laundry, ironing, and various household tasks to keep the stress level down for his parents.

We're still waiting for the backpack, which has not yet been shipped (can I just say, "UGH! Stupid backpack!")

Tomorrow we're planning on going to Frankenmuth, a little town near here that was settled by Germans and taking a short river cruise on a paddleboat. Should be fun.

Pictures have been requested by many, and will be forthcoming once we get back to Utah. My camera hook-up works best with my desktop at home.

Love y'all!
