This is Morgan.  Do you like her giant necklace?  Those are the letters to her name that generally hang on the wall in her room.  On this day, they were in a box in her new room!  Ryan, Susie, Caleb and Morgan have returned to the Valley.  Sad that their escape from here was so short, glad that they are closer and I can see them more!!!  I am trying real hard not to be a pest and let them settle in.

Here she is again, helping Epaw, although I think she is looking for the bunny that Epaw said was under the storage room.  Epaw is her best friend and they are crazy for each other.

Caleb wasn't home but here is a photo of him.  This was his second day of school. No, there wasn't a Norther that week.....it's just cold in his room.

On another note.....If you normally don't vote, please change your mind and do so this year.  Our country is in dire need of that "change and hope" promised by the man holding the highest office in our country.  He hasn't been able to produce it and won't in 4 more years.  We need to get our respect back as a Nation and as individuals.  Counting on the government to support us isn't going to do that, it will do nothing but slide us closer to socialism.  We don't need to be a "Robin Hood"' nation.  Do you really think the tax burden will be on the wealthier citizens?  The middle class always shoulders the burden.  Small business is being drowned in paperwork and quotas and now our government is demanding that we provide health insurance.  This used to be a "perk" you got with a job, not a requirement.  How is charging someone $1200 for not having insurance supposed to help them?  If they can't afford insurance, how are they going to afford the fine?  At present, I don't have insurance and I pay less for my Dr. visits than those who do.  Shouldn't we be changing the insurance industry?  It has become such a huge business because of law suits...but that's another story.
A closing remark.....let's stop sending aid to countries that are harming our embassy personnel and that don't like us....we could use that money at home and to buy a little freedom from China.
