Emma has also, along with a lot of Clinton supporters, swung her support to Barack Obama. If you read a few months ago, Emma was a diehard Hillary supporter. We've been very careful not to say anything about Hillary at all in a bad light in front of Emma, but slowly she changed her mind and a few weeks ago she 'decided' that she'd be fine with either Obama or Clinton as president. Then a couple days ago she decided to take down her picture of Clinton on the front door (which has always been an object of curiosity from passerbys as the see the Obama poster and then that) and said Obama was her choice. This was the day before the nomination was clinched. I NEVER remember being that interested in politics at 6 (or 10 for that matter). She still asks me why only men have been presidents. That's a hard one to explain.
Our adoption process is moving along!! We finished most of our homestudy now, should be complete by the end of the month. Since we are gone most of the summer (Utah, Europe), we'll start matching for our second child starting September or so.
Just interesting, the Fox News piece trying to suggest that Obama ripped off parts of speeches from Cuomo is just sad. If THAT is all they have, it's hysterical in a sad sad way for Fox News.
Wow, school is almost over! Emma and her classmates gave a little performance of some music and a play they practiced in music class (The Grimm Brother's tale Stone Soup). They were soooo cute and Emma just beams when she's performing. I'll get pictures (maybe video!?) up when I have it.
Hey, we are leaving for Mexico (Puerto Vallarta) next week (for 5 days), we had a timeshare Guy's parents gave us so we are using it.
Emma is getting a letter from Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Sunday. I'll explain next week :D
Today is the D-Day anniversary. Both my paternal grandfather and my paternal grandmother's brother (Uncle Boy) were there in WWII. My granddad was a radio man, my Uncle Boy helped liberate a concentration camp (though I could never get him to talk about it). Thinking about it, I realize how huge that was, most men of military age off to war, most at home working to win the war. I can only imagine how HUGE an impact it had on that generation and how little in our lives right now even comes close to comparing. Humbling.
