Long time, No blog

It has been awhile since I have blogged. I know this is going to come as a shock, but I have not had much to say in the past couple of weeks. Life is busy but wonderful. I have had the opportunity to play a lot of tennis and have lots of fun with the boys. I have actually knocked out some of our Christmas shopping too...I had always made fun of people who started Christmas shopping so early. I guess this is just proof that I am getting older. Fighting the crowds Christmas shopping with 2 kids gives me a headache and makes me a little queazy just thinking about it.
I am so glad the elections are over. This past week as I listened to the radio or watched the news, I made a realization about human nature. I realized that we would rather look for ways that we are different from each other than look at ways we are the same. Is it all about competition? Does it have to be about whether you are male or female, Democrat or Republican, or whether you think OU or OSU is better? It is just crazy. Why do we do that? Now, don't get me wrong, I think a little competition is good and healthy. I will forever be a Jayhawk Basketball fan and I would rather see the Sooners spank the Cowboys any day. I am a pretty conservative woman who prefers Coke products to Pepsi. I don't apologize for it. It is just who I am. I think you need to be 100% who God made you to be, but why do we have to think badly about someone else because they think differently. Every single person I have in my life is different from me in some way or another. The question is, am I going to focus on that difference, or am I going to see all the ways that we are the same? It is a choice!

I have no Top Ten tonight. I do have some new pictures of the boys. Here is a couple of Foster. Both these pictures capture his personality. He is such a sweet and fun boy! Liliana came over the other day and took pictures of Caleb. We were going to enter him into the Gap Baby Contest but we missed the deadline. Anyway, here are some of his "modeling pictures". No, I am not going to travel the world like those crazy people on Dr. Phil who enter their kids in baby pageants...it was just a fun contest and he could have won lots of Gap clothes...I am pretty sure he would have won :) I am a bit biased!

Foster (AKA Jack Sparrow)

Here are some new pictures of my niece, Maggie and my sister. I couldn't help sharing them with you. I can't wait to get my hands on her again at Christmas time. I love when babies smile. This is going to be a great Christmas!!!

Love to all.

Until next time, Becca
