Happy Day!

Wow. I sure do love my family, even though I'm not a republican fan. I love the fact that we live in a country where we have the freedom to exercise our rights and opinions. Even though they differ vastly.

For instance, I believe that Tuesday marked one of the happiest days I've had in eight years; while several members of my family are sure Armageddon is upon us. Let's not forget that we have republicans AND democrats amongst us in our family.

I believe there needs to be a third party. But for now I choose what I perceive to be the lesser of two evils. I am fully aware that many republicans view democrats as spawn from hell. Oy vey.

However, I am secure enough in myself and I try to be open-minded and nonjudgmental, so I choose to smile and take a deep breath and even find humor in what so many people insinuate about the other ones political party choices.

I agree on one huge thing with Mel's post. I've been praying for our leaders especially hard for the last eight years and will continue to do so now and in the future.

We've got quite a mess to clean up, and with prayer, a positive attitude, and more open-mindedness and less judgmental mentality, which is what I believe our first black president will go a long way towards promoting, we just might have a snowball's chance of changing the downward spiral of things in the good old US of A.

It's all going to be okay, people. I really do believe that. Especially now. :)

I love you all, no matter what your political or religious views may be. Diversity is what makes this planet so much fun and keeps things interesting.

Hugs and love to all!

Lindy

Amen!!!!! The power of pray is a miracle in itself!!!!!

Sad day

I didn't even watch 30min of the news at one time last night. As you can guess I'm not a Democratic fan. I know that even though I don't agree with Obama I now have to pray for him. I'm just reallllllly sad for unborn babies. That is my biggest issue with the democrats. I wanted to share with you all my devotion for yesterday. Right choices may not have immediate benefits, but God will use them for our benefit. Bible reading for the day. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28 Ending in prayer Heavenly Father, your word tells us that you cause everything to work together for the good of those who love you. Help us, Father, to believe that even when we feel afraid or sad. I'm sticking to my theme, FROG, Fully Rely On God. I have to. That's the only way I know to be so that I can walk out my home today and feel as if the world isn't coming to an end.....and if it does..........Here I come Father! I love you all! Mel

Trick-or-Treat

The kids had fun! They spent the night with mom and dad after trick-or-treating.

Brave Brady the Superhero and Meg the Cat ran from house to house. It is so hard to believe that they will soon be seven. See you all soon!

Love, Missy

A new set of quints

The Lake home now has 8 rabbits, 3 goldfish and a set of twins. HELP! Just call me Grandma Wright.

We thought we had 3 boy rabbits - well, Thursday I came home at noon because Brady was not feeling well. I told him to go check on the rabbits and he came and informed me that we had babies. I thought he was trying to trick me but he wasn't. We had 8 babies. You can imagine my shock. I had to put cages together quickly to remove the other two adult rabbits and make a nest for the babies.

Lindy, you will not want to read the rest - Aunt Dee said it would upset you. The mother rabbit is not being very nice and has killed three and injured two more so we have removed them from her and I am feeding them myself. They are doing better since I have been attending them. I have been taking care of them for 12 hours.

I think we are going to name them , Ethan, Sydney, Jenna, Landon and Payton. Just Kidding!!!

With some advice from Aunt Dee and the vet and my dad we are nursing them ourselves. They are under lamps and eating from a syringe. I am feeding them puppy formula.

Life is never dull around the Lake House.

I am going to do my very best to be at Cuz Night!

Oh, Way to go Noah!

Love, Missy

Last football game

Wonderful Great Grandparents

Wonderful Grandpas

Wonderful Great Grandma and Grandma. All this = Wonderful Family

Can u feel the love! Here is Noah's support team for the championship football game. Noah's team lost by 2. It was a pull your hair out kind of game. Thankfully Uncle Jim, Aunt Dee, and Tony were able to come to Noah's game after being told about it just this morning. I'm so bad about informing everyone of what's going on in our crazy life. Noah is a kid of few words but believe me when I say his heart was smiling so BIG today when he realized who was there watching him play. The after game picture op was priceless also. Noah is such a good kid. Some of the kids were crying about losing but he was so "no big deal". I'm just very thankful for how my kids are loved. Grandparents are priceless! love you all.

P.S. I'm so excited about the cuzz get together. Would you mind if Robyn Folsom came along. She grew up with Lindy and Cathy and is a member of our church. I was talking about us getting together and I just thought it would be fun if she came too.

IT IS OVERDUE AND GONNA HAPPEN

Ladies of the Wright Stuff.

Sherri and I have been trying to celebrate the birthday of Linda Patricia Burke. We all know her as Lindy. Well we are gonna kill two birds with one stone on this one. We are also very very very overdue for a CUZZ BUZZ so we are going to put the two together. If some of you are not familiar with the first. A bunch of us got together and got a tattoo. I believe, help me with my memory, it was before The Shelb got married. Anyhoo...no we are not going to get another tattoo!!! But we are going to get together. I will be contacting each one that is within a 4 hour road trip (hint hint Cathy, Cheryl, and Missy) to please please attend. I promise you, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS!!! Stacy, Kelly, and Sandy, I am truly sorry you are so far away. I wish I could tell you all about it, but that would ruin the surprise. Well it is no surprise we are getting together, but what is going to happen is just going to be fantastic. Sherri and I have really put some thought into this and we would like for every GIRL cousin to be able to attend. I am planning on this to happen on November 8th. I know Stephanie I said the 1st, but this will give all of us the opportunity to participate in the Second Cuzz Buzz. Here is the one and only catch to the whole thing. This will take some major thought. Each one who comes to the Buzz must bring with them materials to do a decoration. Now this decoration can be a theme decoration, junk from the trunk, craft crap, or whatever you would like to decorate or project with. Please bring enough to make your project complete. This is the esential part of the plan. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! It is very simple as mom says it. Just fill an icecream bucket with the stuff you want to decorate with. Don't go overboard and don't slide on this. I promise you will not want to miss this event. So all of you far and wide. Well not so much the wide part, please say you will come. Yes I am going to contact each of you...

Love to all!!!
