jubilation!

Feeling happy, bursting with pride and hopeful for our future. So happy to have kids that were interested in the election and to share this win with them.

Not only is the election of huge importance in our family, but so is our baby's birthday. Tomorrow was supposed to be his birthday, but it got pushed back a day. (due to an over booked hospital!) Instead, we look forward to Thursday to celebrate the birth of our bouncing baby boy!

However, we've already celebrated! We did it big - it's our last and only, first birthday party, after all!

Harrison was particularly lucky to have his Ma and Papa in attendance. He and the other boys are the luckiest boys in the world - they have some pretty great grand parents. They are loved and cherished and we only wish they would stay longer and come more! The boys love them and Sawyer moped all day Monday when they went home. In fact, in the afternoon, he exclaimed "Maybe a piece of Halloween candy would cheer me up!"

We live a very good life here and it's made even better by having ma and papa in it. We all can't wait to see them again at Christmas.
