Trains and Yogurt

So, this story is something that happened the beginning of October... so its old news to some, but I thought some of you might enjoy it and relate to it.

This is a train mural that I painted on Marshall's bedroom wall. I enjoy doing creative things like painting. Its something that is fun and rejuvenating for me.

I worked on the mural here and there over a couple of weeks. On one occasion Marshall realized that I wasn't watching him every minute so he decided to take advantage of the situation by getting into his favorite food: YOGURT!

The latest and greatest

We have certainly kept ourselves busy since Clay was born about six weeks ago. This weekend Clayton was blessed at our Church. We were lucky to have Corbett & Chrissy's parents in town as well as Chrissy's brother, Nathan, and his family. The picture below shows the grandparents with the new parents.

And here is a picture of the Jackson 4...

We are participating in the YES on Proposition 8 campaign by knocking doors and making phone calls to educate people. For all Californians this is an issue that will be on the ballot on November 4^th. Proposition 8 places into the California Constitution the same language that voters passed by 61% of the voters in 2000. This is necessary to overturn a California Supreme Court decision that overturned Proposition 22.Proposition 8 is simple and straightforward. It reads: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

We are voting YES on “8” and are involved in the campaign because we feel that traditional marriage and family are the fabric of society. Another reason is for our children. Proposition 8 protects our children from being taught in public schools that “same-sex marriage” is the same as traditional marriage. Proposition 8 does not take away any rights from gay and lesbian domestic partners. Gays and lesbians in California can already enjoy all the legal rights and benefits of marriage. The California Family Code says, “domestic partners shall have all the rights, protections and benefits” of married spouses. There are NO exceptions to this. Proposition 8 will not change that.
