If you are sitting around today still not sure of who to vote for….I have a great option for you.  He may be pint sized, and not speak English very well yet, but he gives you reason to believe in something better.  I think he could really shake things up in this country.  His message could be summed up in this: “peas” for everyone, and not just one banana, but bananas all day long for everyone that would like them…Messes are okay, in fact the bigger, the better.  Oh yeah, everyone will have a mommy who walks behind you and cleans it up….2 naps everyday, because rest is very important so you don’t get cranky. Potty?  Potty what?  No, this little guy’s message is to be DEPENDENT-down with independence.

As Gabe was gearing up this morning for his campaign, he chose his wardrobe with extreme caution.  He knew that what he wore would make a bold statement.  It was now or never.  This statement could perhaps be his most important- his platform if you will for saving our environment.

He’s going out to find his campaign scooter….

Just a quick stop to admire the wind blowing through the trees….

Deep in thought about his speech he is giving today.

HEY!  You need to practice what you preach about conservation!

:)

Enjoy your day everyone.  Hope you got out and rocked your right to vote!  :)  We sure did.

I am catching up today after a weekend of running around and two super fun sessions. Yesterday was one of those days, you know the kind where you want to run and jump back in bed? Well, we started off the morning by getting up early for church because we wanted to get there a few minutes early…I always put Gabriel down for a nap for a little while and wake him up when we walk out the door. We got to church and looked around wondering what was going on? Where is everyone?? WE FORGOT TO SET OUR CLOCKS BACK. Oh JOY. We could have slept longer and our baby could have gotten his full nap and not be so cranky. If you are a planner then you will completely understand when I say, I felt like a failure. How could I forget?? I was mad….at myself. I had hurried us all that morning, and now we had an hour and 15 minutes to kill before church. Anyhow, I remained in a pretty grumpy mood until our shoot yesterday afternoon which brightened my mood so quickly, I forgot I had a bad day at all. :)

This was Gabe yesterday having fun while we did a session of some friends. He kept saying, “ball” and throwing all the mini-pumpkins.

Today I woke to the FedEx dude who was REALLY early, but he brought me a new friend, so I quickly forgave him. :)

Isn’t she pretty? What should I name her??

I have wanted a laptop for so long. It will be so nice to be able to leave my little office area and take it to be outside with the kids, or take it along places instead of being tied to a desktop. I know, you probably think I am ancient.

In other news, Brett had the pleasure of going to a recent Libertarian Party rally to hear their presidential candidate Bob Barr speak. I couldn’t get a sitter so I stayed home. :(  If you haven’t heard of him you should check out his website at www.bobbarr2008.com. Did you think we were only unconventional in our picture taking??  Oh, think again.  :)  Brett has done some volunteer work for the Libertarian Party of Ohio, and in the past helped run the LPO website. Here are a few shots he got down on the campus of the University of Cincinnati.

This is the Libertarian Party of Ohio’s Chair, Kevin Knedler with Bob Barr.

Here’s to a good week for us all!!! :)
