Yes I'm alive/summary

Ok..so I haven't blogged in months...It's not that life was boring or too busy. I'm just lazy I guess. We had a great Christmas. My mom came out and visited. We saw my sister and her family over break as well as my auntie and her little family too. She was brave enough to have me and minions (as their daddy calls them) over for a sleep over too!!! We all had a blast. We went to the snow, fell on the ice, fed the ducks and psycho seagulls that attacked. Trav has gone to a convention and is headed to another shortly. Sophie has begun to babble and has wrapped her daddy aroound her pinkie with her "da da da da da da" She scoots...backwards, rolls everywhere and oh yeah...growls. Joshua is now a cub scout and gets baptized in less than 2 weeks. Audrey participated in a Christmas program or two and spelling bee. Krystia and Ian marched in a parade, spend hours at school for drama, and got rockin' grades. Trav hurt his back pretty good recently and is on the mend just in time to throw it out of whack once again at a convention. I have juggled school and church meetings, failed at blogging, housekeeping, christmas card writing and the such. I have also entered the world of facebook...but my sister burst my bubble by informing me that I need to post pictures. I knda like the grey blue question mark. It's curvy, like me.

A politically minded child...

I'm not very political, anyone who knows me could tell you it's not my cup of tea. I research issues, candidates, and make an informed choices. But I do not get wrapped up in the hype of it all. Trav is more informed and up to date, but political issues do not rule the dinner table. That's why I am surprised that Ian had such a strong opinion about issues and candidates. He was telling me why I should vote for Obama over Mc Cain and what propositions he felt were important and why he'd vote yes or no on each. I was impressed. This morning the first thing he did after falling out of bed with his blanket wrapped around him, was to mosey on over to the computer to see what had changed since bed time. He enthusiastically announced what props passed that he agreed with. Then I had to chase him away from the computer to get ready for school...but not before I peeked at where prop 8 stood.
