Wow! McCain and Palin!
Friday, August 29, 2008
I don’t talk about political stuff on my blog, but I just had to mention how excited I am that John McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate. Like most people, when I first heard her name, I immediately thought: “who?!?!?”
Obviously, everyone is finding out about her now and I am so interested in learning more. This fresh “younger” voice seems to be a great example of a Republican conservative and isn’t jaded by many years of Washington, like the others (including McCain). With her background and family status, I think most Americans will be able to relate to her.
For good measure, I thought I’d include a picture of the shirt I bought Skyler a few weeks ago.
Online Video Chat
Thursday, August 28, 2008
Tonight, Skyler got to
have a couple video chats with his mommy and his
big sister. Renea is in Monterey, California to spend a
couple of days with Ashley and see her graduate
from language school for the Marines. We had
some technical difficulties with my webcam, so maybe I can be
persuading enough to get a new computer soon. Wishful
thinking?
Playing in the Rain Again
Monday, August 25, 2008
Tonight, Skyler and I
spent a while on the front porch. He played in the
rain while I took photos and video. Then, Renea
came by and asked why I had sent our son out in the
lightning with a long, metal object.
I’m still thinking of a comeback for that one.

Grandpa Jon and Skyler
Sunday, August 24, 2008
This afternoon was a
momentous occasion as Grandpa Jon and Skyler had
some close bonding time. It was a unique experience
and there was no doubt as Renea and I made eye
contact, that I had to document it!
My parents and Renea’s mom also were there to eat some yummy chili (the best).

Skyler Starts Preschool
Thursday, August 14, 2008
It’s been a while since my last update, but
I have an excuse! We’ve been pretty busy
and we started the new school year this week.
Last week was full of teacher meetings and
getting ready.
On Monday, I took Skyler to his sitter’s house and waited for the bus to arrive to pick him up for his very first day of preschool! Of course I took pictures and you can see them all here.
Skyler’s Diego Rescue Pack got switched on the way home and we’ve struggled through some coloring/cutting/pasting homework, but it’s been great so far.
