Addy
Today Addy came running to me and said enthusiastically, "mom, mom there's a giant in our house."
I said, "A giant? Really? Where?"
Addy: "Follow me, I'll show you."
She then took my hand and led me to where we keep the laundry and pointed at the large pile. "There it is."
The other night she was telling us the story of the Nativity. She said, "And Mary and Joseph came, and there was no room for them in the Z." She then looked at me inquisitively, "was it the Z, or the N?"
We got a good laugh.

Hi, I'm back
Hey, I know I haven't posted for a really long time. Craig has done a great job blogging, this is how he keeps his journal. Way to go Craig! I'm just a procrastinator with everything, but finally--here's a post!
Some big events in the last 2 months:
1. Craig finished his traveling rotations!! We're so happy to have him back.
Daddy's home!!
2. We went to Disneyland to celebrate with Craig's family mid-November
The "kids" racing at the beach
The wonderful thing about Tiggers--is that you get to stand in long lines to take pictures with him.
3. Thanksgiving in Cedar City
4. Hope is now 6 months old! Time is slipping away. She is so sweet. She squirmed herself out of her bumbo twice today. She says, "da-da-da-da," and "na-na-na-na." These must be the people she loves most. We're working on "ma-ma."
5. Addy is brilliant and funny and sweet and CrEaTiVe. She's always making Craig and I things. Today she taped all sorts of knick knacks to a dollar bill (a stick of gum, an angel pendant, chuck-e-cheese coins, a cupcake candle) and presented it to Craig. Yesterday when she set the table, she made it look like a reindeer...with eyelashes.
6. We moved back to Phoenix after being away for 5 months. We had a great time staying with my family in St. George. We miss them so much! They took great care of us--thanks fam, I love you!

Politics 2008
I got this from my Aunt Vanna who copied them from Human Events:
Every year, one of Washington's favorite political bloggers, Howard Mortman, compiles a top-10 list of funniest (if not pathetic) quotes uttered by our politicians. Without further ado, the 2008 honorees:
10. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, on what squirrel tastes like: "It tastes like squirrel."
9. Former Sen. John Edwards on cheating on Elizabeth Edwards: "Can I explain to you what happened? First of all, it happened during a period after she was in remission from cancer."
8. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat: "I have always loved longitude. I love latitude; it's in the stars. But longitude, it's about time."
7. President Bush, meeting with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of the Philippines: "I reminded the president that I am reminded of the great talent of the -- of our Philippine-Americans when I eat dinner at the White House."
6. President-elect Barack Obama: "Can you imagine if you had your Social Security invested in the stock market these last two weeks? These last two months? You wouldn't need Social Security. You'd be having a -- you know like, what was it, 'Sanford and Son,' 'I'm coming, Weezie.' It ain't right."
5. Vice President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr., hearing testimony from Gen. David Petraeus:
Gen. Petraeus: "Senator, the vice president was in Iraq just a couple weeks after that, and he also had a very warm reception."
Mr. Biden: "Did he get kissed? Get a kiss?"
Gen. Petraeus: "I believe he did get kissed when he was there."
Mr. Biden: "I just want to know whether he got kissed, that's all."
4. Sen. John McCain: "We should be able to deliver bottled hot water to dehydrated babies."
3. Gov. Sarah Palin, being interviewed by CBS news anchor Katie Couric:
Miss Couric: "[W]hat newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?"
Mrs. Palin: "I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media."
Miss Couric: "What, specifically?"
Mrs. Palin: "Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years."
2. MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "It's part of reporting this case, this election, the feeling most people get when they hear Barack Obama's speech. My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often."
1. Former President Bill Clinton: "The country is groaning and moaning and screaming for change."
