Republicans & Democrats

With all the election stuff going on lately, it got Kyleigh thinking about a few things. The other night we went to see Grandma Connie and while we were there Kyleigh had a question for her. The conversation went something like this...........

Kyleigh - Grandma Connie, what is the difference between Republicans and Democrats?
Grandma Connie - Well, Kyleigh, Democrats like to spend, spend, spend.....and Republicans like to save, save, save!
Kyleigh - Oh ok, then that means that I'm a Republican and Marleigh is a Democrat!!!!!

I couldn't help but LAUGH OUT LOUD....literally!!! It was soooooo funny! I just never know what that girl is gonna say. She is sweet, a bit sassy, and a lot funny!

I'm Baaaaaack!!!!

Hello Blogging World....I have decided to return to you! It has been a year since I have posted anything, but I think I am ready to return now. We have had an incredibly difficult year, but we are trying to move on the best way we know how. First, my Dad passed away on November 22, 2009. That has been really hard for me. He was the BEST!!! I have missed him terribly. Then on February 13, 2010, Jacob's grandfather (Pa) passed away. He was such a great man and we have missed him too. Exactly one month later, March 13, 2010, Jacob's older brother, Stephen, passed away. He had battled leukemia for 9 months. We have really missed him too. On the same day that Stephen passed away, we found out that we were expecting baby #4, which was a big surprise to us. But on April 15, I found myself in the ER having a miscarriage. All of this happening so soon for us was a bit overwhelming, to say the least. But, we have tried to pick up the pieces and move on...the best we can. So needless to say, I've been out of the blogging world for a while. I have missed updating my own blog and checking out every ones blogs...so I think I am ready to join you again. Happy Blogging....Again!!!
