go obama!

barack obama...first african american president in the history of the united states of america! i feel pretty darn excited my little boy will grow up with president obama as the main leader of the united states. my hope is my little man is raised to be accepting of the rich, poor, disabled, gay, straight, old, young, black, white, and any religion! i think we'd all be able to live more fulfiling lives if we started living with these morals! peace and love to 4 to 8 years of change and HOPE!


Barack's opening of his acceptance speech: "If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.
It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.
We are, and always will be, the United States of America"

trick or treat

trick or treat...brev survived his first halloween! matt and i got a big kick out of seeing him dressed up. i'm not sure how much he liked it though...was a tired and overheated puppy so we had to change him halfway through the evening! :) we took him downtown where there were several children his age. it was darling seeing all the costumes and what we have to look forward to in the years to come. here are a few pics of our little puppy and then a mini doctor by the end of the night...
