The return of sweet potato baby!


As many of you may remember, I called Tekla "sweet potato" right after she was born. She was small, orange and wrinkly. 

We have now begun giving her a few vegetables and so far are favorite are...

you guessed it, sweet potatoes!

Turning of the Tide

As I was perusing CNN today I noticed something unusual, there were a number of articles on GLBT topics. One an editorial on "Don't ask don't tell", one horrific article on the trial of a transgender murder, one about gay tourism in Vermont and another about the "McCain's speaking at the Log Cabin republican convention.

It seems that GLBT topics are the new "hot" topics and most of them are in a positive light. It seems that Gay Equality is becoming "en vogue". Five years ago I would have had to look for weeks to find this many positive articles on GLBT topics.

Slowly, the tide is turning. This time I will say "ROLL TIDE ROLL".

Easter Bunny!


We had a great time this weekend. Greg's mom host an annual Easter gathering the day before Easter every year. Usually a very good collection of family and friends. This year my dad, step mom and niece made the trip, and of course this was Tekla's first year there. She was exhausted by the end of the day with all the different people holding her, but had a great time all in all.
