Congratulations Senator Obama.
I have anxiety, lots of anxiety! Ok Calm down. Breath........ Here is a list of positives (I can't deal with the negative anymore).
1. Some people will get a $1000.00 tax credit until the year 2010 plus we will have the bush tax cuts at $2100.00 until 2010. (Obama is going to let that expire by the way)
2. He has promised to add a new category for bankruptcy caused by medical bills.
3. He is not Hillary (we may be rethinking her)
4. He is not Jimmy Carter (Hopefully)
5. America has elected the first black person to the highest post in the U.S. and I was here to witness it.
6. He will be a shining example and inspiration to the black community. As a two parent home this will be good support for out of wedlock births that have plagued black america since the 80's. Hopefully encouraging more self respect and holding father hood at a higher standard for them.
7. The media will have to learn how to eat one of its own "The Messiah"
8. Democrats are now 100% accountable and we will get to hold them accountable. They will no longer get to hide behind republicans. (A.K.A. fanny and freddie I recently watched a youtube video of a 2004 meeting to investigate the illegal bookkeeping of these two, the majority of democrats saw "no cause for concern". This was a C-span video in there own words. Republicans however were very worried and asked for more reform.)
9. Sarah Palin gets a chance to bolster her record in Alaska before running in 2012. As Thatcher saved Great Britain from socialism, so too will Palin save us from socialism.
10. America is resilient.
The far greater tragedy of this whole election and nomination is the "Freedom to Choose Act" this will inevitably be signed by President Obama, as soon as he takes office. This will overturn the ban on partial birth abortion that now exists. The lives lost to this horrific, barbaric and selfish practice could never be compared to all the taxation and socialism in the world. If only life were as important to Obama as he makes it appear on his commercials and Infomercial. I guess for Liberals you get Free health care, affordable education, Peace from war, Clean air, Social Security, Free prescription drugs, "Tolerance for others", and respect for all living things (trees, animals, fish). The catch is you have to make it out alive and wanted. It used to be alive.
I think Gavin is going threw a Daddy stage. I Love the way he looks in this hat. 
It was really cold! Last year we waited to long and It snowed all winter. We usually do it after Thanksgiving but we didn't want to chance it. 
Gavin is getting really good at posing. I will post pictures of the actual lights after the 27th. Our skin was so numb. I kept trying to have Gavin take a nap and of coarse not on the day we were doing lights, too much fun. This is also the day he ate all the dirt.
Gavin looked so cute. I found this cute turtle shell and sewed it onto these long johns. I then Had to dye them and paint the chest. I was a little work but it turned out really cute.
He didn't want to wear the bandana so I just painted on on his head. It worked good until he itched his head.
T.J. was a dad for Halloween. 
He loved the wheel barrel ride. 
He kept trying to pick up really big ones. He thinks he is so big and strong.
This is my John McCain pumpkin sorry it's blurry.
Lisa's ward had a halloween party for the primary kids. T.J. was really excited about coming.
This was the one game he won!
You can see he really like the face painting part. 
We didn't know you were supposed to dress up so I thought he would look better with a pumpkin on his face.
Congratulations Senator Obama.
