Publicly, I lamented the absence of the "I VOTED!" stickers. The supply had run dry. Fast forward to April. Enter my thoughtful, politically passionate, democracy loving friend Sarah.
Last week, I received the sweetest card in the mail, praising our families efforts. Enclosed were a handful of the "I VOTED" stickers. Needless to say, it made my day. Of all of my peers, Sarah stands out as someone that is incredibly involved politically and most grateful for the gift of democracy. I find her enthusiasm inspiring. Her recognition and thoughtful act meant a lot to me. Thanks Sarah!
The kids and I had a fun time playing with them this afternoon. Speaking of our afternoon, we had the pleasure of hosting Mr. Talon for a play date! Talon's Mom, Michelle, gave birth to her third baby boy last night. She was scheduled to be induced this morning, but her little guy had plans of his own. In her husband's own words,"She laid in the bed at 10:03 p.m. and he was born at 10:20 p.m." Michelle reluctantly joined the "all natural" club. Certainly, everyone is proud of her and thrilled that they're both healthy and well. It must be noted that her baby weighed 8 lbs, 10 oz! She's a champ. I can't wait to meet baby Nathan. The arrival of a new baby is so incredibly thrilling. Here's hoping that Andrew arrives home providing me with the time to go and sneak a peek at the baby before he has to leave for his young men's activity.

Geez, having a baby in your own bed, sounds terrifying to me!
You know, I was just looking at pictures of Michelle at Monkey Joe's and there is no way she was carrying an 8 lb baby in there! She was so tiny, even at almost 40 weeks pregnant!
