Miles...north of the Red River

Miles spent a few days in Oklahoma with Grandma and Grandpa and all of his other Oklahoma peeps. He had a great time, as you can tell...That's Miles wearing the helmet, not Larry. Miles said during his stay he had a wonderful time: he went to the movies, ate ice cream, got toys and...learned from Larry what the bathroom terms No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 mean. Thanks Grandpa!

More Halloween shots...

Here are some individual shots of Cowgirl, Zombie Girl and Hulk.

Tess...minus tonsils and adenoids

Tess was a bit rocked coming out of anesthesia last week. She was thrashing about in this bed...Miles touched her, kissed her, then was a bit upset in Angie's arms. All is well now.

Chee-tah, Chee-tah, Chee-tah!

Abbie and her crew (with their moms) took in the recent Cheetah Girls concert at the Erwin Center. Good times...good times. If you weren't there, you are not part of the in crowd.

Kick'em all out!

Here's an excerpt from a recent New York Times article about a member of the House of Representatives. Check out the type of "legislation" these guys are passing. Great quote at the end...this really sums up a lot of the problems we're having in this country, that's for sure...all, while Rome burns....

Then he asked for a list of the three bills to see if he really did want to vote yes: A nonbinding resolution “recognizing that we are facing a global food crisis.” O.K., Davis said puckishly. That’s a yes.
A second resolution “expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the emergency communications services provided by the American Red Cross are vital resources for military-service members and their families.” O.K., another yes.
A third resolution “condemning the use of television programming by Hamas to indoctrinate hatred, violence and anti-Semitism toward Israel in Palestinian children.” A third yes. “They read me pretty well,” Davis said, chuckling at the absurdity of it all.
Then he shook his head. Three resolutions offering platitudes, none of them carrying the force of law, none of them actually doing anything. Davis asked for a list of all 20 bills on the floor that day — naming post offices, recognizing the anniversary of Bulgaria’s independence, honoring an old American war sloop.
Davis wanted me to have the list. “Tell them about the important work we’re doing while Rome burns,” he said.
