noah's car seat upgrade

FINALLY! Noah got a new car seat FINALLY. Yes, he'd been in the same one since he was old enough to be turned around and look forwards which was like 2.5 yrs ago... He's a bigger boy now and it's time he used a seat belt instead of a 5-point harness. Well, it was way past "time."

Terry put it together on his lunch break on election day. He went ahead and put it in the car afterwards which of course led to Noah wanting to try it out. So we all went out. Once we were all out there, we might as well go for a quick drive. Once we were on the road, Terry might as well watch the kids for 10 minutes so I could vote.

Buckle up! You too Evie.

As a side, I voted for McCain and Palin b/c I thought SNL's imitation of the two of them was hilarious. Okay, that might not be the case.

While it really is all neat and historic to have the first African American in office, I'm afraid of what he will do for abortion. He said the first thing he'd do if elected was to pass the Freedom of Choice Act. This legislation supercedes any and all pro-choice laws that are out there - waiting periods, parental notification, trained doctors performing abortions, anything that creates limits on abortions. That's scary. It would even supercede the federal partial birth abortion ban!
