I have the sweetest life. Here is Zachary going to visit Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, picking up pine cone gifts for them along the way – only one pine cone made it so he gave it to Great Grandma to make her feel better after her hip replacement (ouch!!!). He then helped Great Grandpa snap green beans (not so much really – he just wanted to taste them and did not enjoy raw green beans like his daddy used to). Mommy then got him to sleep and got to enjoy snuggling with him. Life is sweet……..

Truckin’!!!
I have the coolest daddy and grandpa in the world. They hooked my truck up to Daddy’s new trailer and let me play.
Thanks to Danielle for the photo editing.
C’mon America……
C’mon America – let my son be equal.
Please read this article – it’s regarding the same things Keith and Justin are facing. My son and his partner for life, Justin, may be emigrating to Canada. They are no different than your straight children, America. My child should be equal and I’m tired of crying over something that should be a non-issue. Everybody says “can’t they just move to another state and get married?”. No. This article will tell you why. Keith is an American. Justin is from China. Both may end up in Canada. How wrong is that? Why? They harm nobody – they are great kids (ok, they’re not really kids but to us they are).
Please read this to understand what Keith and Justin have to go through to be equal.
What’s for dinner???
What’s for dinner??? Spaghetti with homemade sauce. I picked these beautiful onions and peppers and put them in the sauce. There’s enough sauce that I can freeze some and use it later for chili too.
Zach had a really fun time playing……..
