Finding our Mark in History.

I wanted to give a quick shout out to my mom and thank her for teaching me how to sew. Which means I guess that I thank grandma Gubler also because she probably taught my mom how to sew, and actually had a huge influence in teaching me since we're both left-handed. This is probably a weird thing to be grateful for but I am so grateful that I am able to take a much needed perfectly good pair of pants with a broken zipper and replace said zipper with a new one. Thank you to those patient ones who taught this backward left-handed girl a very valuable skill that has come in handy more than a few times.

"There is a moment, a simple moment, before history gets recorded.
Before it goes in the books.
Before it appears as a question on a game show.
Or on a midterm exam.
A moment right before the headline is written.
There is a moment when history lives in the present.
When we can watch it unfold in real time, right before our eyes.
When we can all assume our place in it."
-- Maria Elena Fernandez--

I assumed my place in history by casting my vote of unyielding hope for a better future for my children and grandchildren. This was the first year that I've cared enough to vote. This was the first time I took a moment to study all the issues. I felt so proud as I handed in my ballot to know, I did what I could to hope for a better tomorrow. We are so blessed to live in this land of choices and decisions.

Adventures of parenting...
We started on a new journey of parenting and introduced rice cereal to Kaleb's diet this morning. It was a rather messy adventure. He did pretty well and seemed to enjoy it. I do wonder how much he actually managed to swallow, but he didn't seem too hungry afterward so I guess he got enough. Now we just need to get him a highchair and baby sized spoons. I still can't believe Kaleb has grown so fast!

I figured out something about our camera...and I can post it! Cool!
