Bathing Beauties

Troy and I split bathing duties up. He takes boys, I take girls. The math would suggest that he is getting the easier assignment, but the math lies. I can bathe four girls in half the time he can bathe two boys.

In 28 hours Jeronne returns. I. Love. that. woman. So much.

Read this. I have dozens of sarcastic comments, but those people, in that building, ultimately decide the

Stop Deportations to Haiti Petition

Stop Deportations to Haiti. To: President Obama. First, congratulations on your new job. Immigrant communities look forward to working with your administration. Certainly you have many pressing priorities. We are compelled, however, to bring to your attention a life or death matter: Haitian deportees face hunger, homelessness and unemployment, if not worse, in the wake of four killer storms that further devastated our hemisphere’s poorest nation. We urge you to immediately stay deportations to Haiti pending review of U.S. immigration policy toward Haitians.

Winter Blues?

I know this will annoy everyone north of Missouri, but folks around here are giddy happy today because it is "cold" (70) and cloudy.

The kids celebrated when they saw the clouds. Troy has a bounce in his step.

Brrrrrrrr.

Jeronne, Come Home!

We’re keeping up with dishes and kids. And when I say keeping up I mean they all went to bed in dry clothing having had something placed in front of them that we called "dinner". EDH comes on for an hour every 15 to 18 hours, which is really just a way for them to taunt us and make us feel crazy.

David Crowder Band – The Glory of it All

We love listening to fun, alive worship music. We have lots of favorites, but Crowder is our most favoritest fave. We think he needs to eat a sandwich, but other than that we have not one criticism.

Enjoy.

Survival Mode – 4 day Marathon begins now

For the next four days you will hear very little from Livesay Family Headquarters. We need to focus on keeping small people diapered, fed and alive while Jeronne is gone. Forget about clean, we are hard-core realists and clean does not make the list. (Jeronne says she will return Saturday.)

It appears that EDH has pulled up stakes and left our neck of the woods. I hope someone is benefiting

Guns Anyone?

Today a man came to the gate at our house. It is the second time he has visited. He apparently is a gun dealer and found us accidentally while looking for another white person in the area. The first time he came, I pointed him in the right direction to find the other blan. Today, he returned to see if I might also be interested in purchasing a weapon, and proceeded to open up a suitcase and hand
