Honestly, today I woke up a little sad. Listening to NPR and the debate about whether or not the California Supereme Court will overturn Prop 8. It makes me sad that people through out my state do not believe in my marraige, it makes me sad that they have the right, the ability, to deny my love for my wife, and more importantly it makes me mad that there is the possibility that MY marriage could be invalidated.
The ironic part- we are the most suburban, dare I say almost traditional folks around. A mini van, two kids and a dog- and this is what you are fighting again? Isn't it what you should be fighting for? A family that was created with integrity, and intention - and based on a foundaiton or love, respect and dedication to its success?
I do not see how this is anybody's right.
I love my life, I love my wife, I love my kids- and I stand proudly by the other 18,000 couples who married and who share this same commitment to each other and to the institution of marriage.

This is what happens after a bath.... talk about bad bath hair!
Melissa finally bought a brush that we can use - and we blow dry their hair every night when they get out of the tub- don't want them to get cold!
Finally- Just wanted to show off - it is possible to get a good picture of Tanner. One where he is smiling, no tongue sticking out - or odd facial expression! Priceless...
Tanner and Reese show off some of their favorite tricks. They are getting pretty good at their baby signs - they regularly use between 10 -15 signs now. Not only are their signing more, but they are starting to 'talk' more and more. Now, we just have to try and understand what they are saying!
PS- Tanner officially took his first steps last Wednesday (2/25) - while he is not walking regularly yet, he is on his way!
