An Angel from India

My friend Heather and her husband Kent (across the street neighbors) are in India this week adopting the most adorable little girl. They have four older kids - the oldest Nate who is with them, Cole (14), Eliza (11), Dalton (8). Take a look at her link (An Angel from India) if your interested. I want to go get me one ( a baby that is).

The "Peops" are gone!

My fellow family members left this morning at 3:00 a.m. to drive that dreaded highway - 21 hours to St. Louis. I am left here - for five full days - as a single mother of one. yippeee skippy! I told Wayne about 3 weeks ago that I needed a vacation so I was only going to St. Louis 1/2 time and I was flying 1 way. He looked at me and said - oookkay? So Wayne, and the somehow "excited" kids jumped in the car and took off this morning.

I've got my hall pass and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.

One sad note: Annie hasn't realized yet that she is not going. She packed for herself last night and got all 3 of her swimming suits in a little "wad" ready to put in the car. Somehow I've got to take her swimming.

Blogger's Fright!

I totally have it....everytime I try and write something on this here blog I get all nervous and sweaty. Ridiculous!
Wow, I have sure had fun reading all of your blogs. Such fancy people you all are. You should see me navigate through - it is laughable. I still don't know how to "comment" without being Wayne so I never say anything, but I'm here......lurking, sweating and wondering "How'd you do that"? I have started to write my top 5 cousin memories at least 5 times ( I know, that is sooo September) but I still might surprise ya someday - and write something down.

Anywhoo - just wanted to let everyone know how much I have enjoyed reading about yourselves and your terrific kids! Thanks!

P.S. This is Libbi not Wayne
P.S.S. I'm the one that voted for Obama.

Election Thoughts

Election night for me was spent hosting a baby shower with a guest list of way tooo many..... but I did manage to sneak away and vote - for Barack Obama. After everyone finally left, I sat down to watch the election results and I must say I am "over the top" excited with our new president. I don't really know if he can do all that he has promised but I like his "way". I think he is smart, a listener, a fair-minded person and I have renewed hope in our country. I am moved (to tears) many times by what this election means for African American people in our country. I am excited to see what can be accomplished. I am not a Democrat, more a Republican, mostly an Independent - but I could not see McCain bringing our country to a better place. I can see Obama making a difference - I support him.

Halloween Fun 2008

One thing is for sure....we have a great neighborhood for Halloween. It was warm this year...as you all know, leaves were blowing, everyone's porch was decorated...and there were kids everywhere! It reminds me of the Halloween scene from the movie E.T. Mike and Holly and girls came down from Idaho, and Jamie, Justin, and girls came up from Orem, and Grandma came up from downstairs. The Hamps come from down the street. We also had some neighbors drop in.

Nice evening for all!
