Fo' Mo' Months

Moses' 4 month Birthday came and went and we missed an update. The little guy has made a lot of progress since month three. He's rolling--check back soon for video. He's eating solid food--see below for pictures. He's weighing in at 12 pounds, 12 ounces at the 10th percentile. He's a little guy with big energy and a whole lot of personality.
He's just so nice and happy, but that's not really progress, just the status quo. He still lights up most when he sees Ella or even hears her name but he's also remembering more and more people and showing real excitement when he sees them. This little guy is just so great! Really, really great!

A Big Day in North Carolina

This morning we started our political day with 2 early votes for our guy MoBama. Ella made two passes through the polling site and by the time we were done she could even tell you who should get your vote for State Labor Commissioner. She got two stickers. We all got our say in this wild election. And then the day picked up...

Bill Clinton was going to be at our polling place at 3:30! So I sprinted home from work, gathered up the kids, and joined our neighbors and the students at the North Carolina School for Science and Math and we waited for a shot to meet our last elected President. It was a pretty wild scene as the Obama Guerrilla Support Team showed up with their extra signs and megaphones and managed to drown out the Hillary supporters. It felt a little aggressive but it as impressive.
We ended up on the wrong side of the street and thought we weren't going to get a shot at a hand shake. Then we found ourselves on the other side of Clinton's car as he was headed out to leave. Then he spied Ella across the way, looked right at us, walked right past his car and came to shake both of our hands. It was pretty cool.
Here's a picture of Bill Clinton shaking our hand--we think.

Thanks for coming to our neighborhood, Bill. Come on over for coffee sometime. Just ignore the Obama sign out front.
