Video Clip Friday--Classical music like you've never heard it before

Macro--I'm amazed this flower has survived the cold

South for the winter

We've had several of these large flocks of birds fly right over our house. Mike and I snapped some pictures the second or third time it happened.

Fun in the leaves

This was before it snowed and rained and got the leaves all soggy.

Another Pet Peeve

I hate it when the bagger at the grocery store puts ONE item in a bag. Dude, there's room for more.

The election is over! And Halloween Pics

The election has finally ended and I can honestly say I am proud to have been a part of such an historic moment in our country's history.

McCain's concession speech was very nice. If he had been that gracious throughout the campaign, I think he would have had a much better chance of winning.

Obama's acceptance speech was inspiring. Let's hope he can really unite the country and get us moving in a better direction.

And now, better late than never, our ghost and ninja. It was the warmest Halloween I can remember in a long time. And by 8 it was raining pretty good so we didn't have any late trick or treaters.

Pre-schoolers for Obama

We've had that magnet on the fridge only for 2 or 3 days. We were watching the Rachel Maddow Show and they showed a clip from an Obama rally. Lily saw the logo and excitedly said, "We have that magnet!" She ran to get it off the fridge, then held it up--"See? It's the same!"

Play-group Halloween Party

Nightmare?

I had a dream last night that Sarah Palin was president. And because of that, we were moving to Europe. No more detail than that, but still pretty scary. :)

I took the kids to a local pumpkin patch to choose some pumpkins. They had fun and Aaron loved being able to use the clippers to cut the pumpkins from the vine.
