Proposition 8

Family and Friends....

The time is coming when we will have to vote on some important issues for our state and country. One of the issues is Proposition 8. This proposition is extremely important for all of us. If you do not know much about it...please go to www.protectmarriage.com to learn more about it. We will be voting to keep traditional marriage..marriage between a man and woman. This is not a proposition that will take away any rights from anybody who is gay. They will be able to keep the rights that they already have. However, if marriage is redefined to include same sex couples, it could mean losing our rights as parents and our religious freedom. By law, we will have to accept the changes that will occur because of it. Already in Massachusettes, they have the same-sex law and it is causing grevious consequences. A parent was arrested when he went to the school to simply ask that he be informed beforehand that his KINDERGARTENER was going to be taught and receive a book containing same sex marriage. That's all he wanted.

A catholic adoption agency had to close because the state was after them for not placing children in same-sex marriage homes.

With our strong belief that marriage is ordained of God and that it is to only be as He had instucted..(between a man and woman) Churches such as ours will appear to be "discriminitive" and will likely be punished.

I am not a very political person...(although I should be!) But this will affect what I value most in my life. My family and my religion. As a mother, I want to teach my children what is true and right. I do not want those rights taken away. I do not want the government teaching my children what they think is okay. PLEASE! PLEASE! VOTE YES ON PROPOSTION 8!

PICTURES!!!!

Syney - 1 month old! Isn't she so pretty?




Daddy reading a story . I love this picture. Brendan and Sydney!

Okay...so I think we are finally getting into a routine, now! I have some "new" pictures to show everyone....(I say "new" because Sydney is changing every day it seems.) :)





Andrew, Brendan and Whitney are doing great in school...they are getting excited to dress up at school. (For Halloween they get to come to school dressed as their favorite book character. Whitney will be...who else..but Snow White! (I know everyone is shocked at that). Andrew wants to go
as Calvin. (from Calvin and Hobbes.) Brendan isn't so sure yet...after all, these things take a lot of thought. :)





Logan and Caeden are doing good....they are adjusting still to..no, not the baby....to eachother! They are so completely opposite in personalities they have a hard time getting along. We did see a good time today at Walmart...They had fun hiding from eachother in the fabric, and then running away from eachother, trying to tag eachother. (Thank you Walmart people for allowing a game of tag in your sewing section.)





Sydney is getting so big! She is already outgrowing her 0-3 month clothes. She is 6 weeks old and likes to smile and coo. She loves watching everyone, but cries when any of the children cry. So sad! She is a beautiful little girl and we are having a lot of fun with her!





Well, that is our latest family update....Hope everyone is doing great!
