Have you ever seen the movie or commercial, where someone is holding a baby,they put the baby down it starts crying, they pick it up and it stops crying. Well since last Sunday I can totally relate. R.L. has been teething since last Wednesday. I feel so bad for him! He has all the symptoms, runny nose,fever,knawing on his finger. I think he even has a cold, so I am taking him to the doctor today, just in case there is anyting she can do. The children’s tylenol does not seem to be helping with the pain. I hate when my children are sick or not feeling good, I don’t like to see them like that. I have been holding him about 85% of each day since last Wednesday otherwise he is crying. I am only able to post now, because he is finally sleeping.

I have the TV on vh1, in the morning they have videos and I just heard this song Crush, by David Archuleta. I like this song check it out. I don’t really watch American Idol, apparently he was on it. I like this song.Check this one out from Kid Rock, I like some of his songs. This is a good one representing Detroit, I love the vanilla bean black and white scenes. The video is called “Roll On”.

I feel like it has been a long time since I blogged.  A LOT has happened since, but I want to catch up. So last time I mentioned the fam and I went to a basketball game (my first). It was fun, my cousin-in-law hooked us up. Check out her website and blog at

So here was our view from the game

Oh MY God! Barack Obama is President! All day I have been excited, excited at the possibility of CHANGE! Excited that a bi-racial black man can be president. Excited that as a nation we Americans are uniting. I have voted for every presidential election since I was 18. I was never more proud to vote then this year. I’m hopeful that the economy is going to improve, and Americans will unite to fight for the success of our country. I was out today, trying to take images that will capture history, and I did. However, while I was out, it was encouraging to me to be able to see people of different races, economic, and social backgrounds voting for Obama. When I asked people who they were voting for and they said Obama I felt like I related to them. Let’s keep Obama and his families safety in our prayers. Let’s also say a prayer that through Obama, God will make America a stronger nation in all aspects.

I am so excited still. I am waiting for Obama’s speech! I feel like crying. Maybe I will after I hear his speech. I wish his grandma could have seen this day : ( Now that makes me want to cry.

Edited to Ad (ETA):

I am so inspired! I am so happy to be an American right now. The road ahead will not be easy, but we will do the work becuase YES, WE CAN. Here is an image I took earlier, I feel it expresses some of what I just heard in Obama’s speach.

Today is the day to vote! What an exciting day. I have a lot of pictures to post and will do so later. Over the weekend we went to a Pistons game. It was my first Pistons game (pics coming soon). I had a nice time, and the Pistons won!

The kids don’t have school today, so we are going to turn in our vote, and go take some pictures, to capture history!

I had a shoot over the weekend, here is one of my favorites, more coming soon. I processed this three different ways, and I like them all,so I’m posting them all. Which one do you like? Please leave me a comment and let me know, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!

I have to go, don’t forget to vote!

This has been another busy week. I hope everyone is doing well. This year is almost over, and what a good way to start it then with a better new president. I missed the Obama “infomercia”, however, I’m sold! I was sold before I even watch it.I love watching infomercials, I even tape some of them and watch them over and over, for inspiration : ) Here is the Obama infomercial, watch it or go to his website for more info:   http://www.barackobama.com/index.php

Here is the infomercial I’m going to watch it later tonight, Please don’t forget to vote!

He is saying he would do his best to make sure cars are made in America, so that would means jobs back in Detroit. Why would you not vote for him?

Hi,

Just writting a quick post about Jennifer Hudson’s family. Friday I was on my way somewhere when I  heard on the radio that Jennifer Hudson’s mom and brother were found dead, and her nephew was missing. I feel so terrible for her, please keep her family and her in your prayers.

So many times on the news I hear about someone was found dead, someone was shot, someone was found murdered. It has gotten to the point where I don’t even like to watch local news anymore. However, while hearing about Jennifers family it reminds me that everytime I hear such bad news someone has lost someone they love.

While I’m ranting, I was listening to 97.1 yesterday, and the radio show was talking about how volunteers go around trying to help sway voters to a specific canidate. It came up about how some people won’t vote for Obama because of the color of his skin. That is right,because of the color of his skin. While I am fortunate, to not of experienced a lot of discremination, like there was during the civil rights moment. I am even more grateful that my children do not have to. But it hurts because I know there is a possiblity where someone can say something or do someting mean because of the color of their skin. We all want the best for our children. When Aleecia was in pre-school she would come home and aks why is so and so brown, white etc. It tickled me because she said her friend was white. However, he was a fair black child. At this moment I am shaping how she will view people of different colors. I choose to tell her that everyone is different,but underneath we are all the same, our blood is the same color, and we all have a heart and feelings.
 
Ok, so I digress, back to the radio show. Don’t vote for someone because of the color of their skin, vote for someone because of the issues. People need to be able to pay for food, and shelter. Our children need to be able to attend college, and not worry about the job market when they graduate. We need to look at the long-term strategy of being independent of foreign energy. Don’t forget to vote!

Ok, I am now stepping off of my soap box : )

This past Sunday, my husbands grandad passed away. We never know how long we have with someone. It is so important to savor every moment you can with the people you love. Don’t spend time with a grudge or mad, life is to precious for that stuff. I have to say that I am glad I was able to meet Grandad, and he was able to meet all of my children.What a blessing to see your great-grandchildren! Grandad was a man of God, he did good by his wife and family, and he LOVED God. He will be missed by many. He will be going home Saturday. Please keep our family in your prayers. Thanks a lot…
