The First Real Snowfall!

Well, we woke up this morning to see a dusting of snow on the driveway. This is a big reason why I love winter - I just love surprises, even a surprise snow! I am thrilled for the wet sloppy snowfall that causes branches to droop and pants legs to drip.

The last few weeks have been quite uneventful, although Little A has had her first bought of sickness. A gross fever of 102, swollen eyes, and then a funny red rash took the place of the fever almost immediately... good news though, she is a healthy bugger once again. We're hoping those two days strengthened her immune system enough so she doesn't get another bug for the rest of her life!

Here she is just before we were leaving the house the other day. Indie is in the background, very sad & depressed that she isn't getting to come along. All at once now, "Ooooh, poor booboo-baby."

Congrats to the US!

Over 64 million people spoke on Tuesday... and the best part is that they spoke in unison and started the movement that I hope will bring change to American politics.

I'm stoked, excited, thrilled, in awe, shocked, amazed, and proud of my country. I have faith that this will allow my Amélie to grow up in a respectful and thoughtful country.

Ya, ya! Finally ELECTION DAY is here... *pant, pant*

Is anyone else going to be tuned in on CNN watching that silly touch screen action? I'm dying to see blue cover the country, all eyes on Indiana first... then North Carolina & Ohio. Snap. No one best be calling me from 6pm - 9pm as this is my night off from studying to do some major t.v. watching.

Oh yeah, and Amélie had her first Halloween! Wow, she enjoyed herself SO much ooohing and ahhhing at all the kids dressed up that came to the door that she crashed at 10pm and slept until 10am the next morning. That girl played the role of the cutest rat / mouse in all of Minnesota. Daddy & I are so proud.

Now here is proof of the Rat-i-tude that started the night:


Followed by pure entertainment for the whole night:


PLEASE GET OUT & VOTE! BE PART OF HISTORY!
