Voting

This is the first year any of our children have really been aware about elections and the voting process. They asked some pretty good questions about how it all works and were excited to pick who they would vote for. Catherine said she would vote for Obama because "even though he hasn't done a good job we should give him a second chance". Will said he would vote for Romney because "we need somebody different and they need to take turns with who is in charge". I think that pretty much sums it all up.

I won't get into much about political views on here. It's not my cup of tea. I will say that our elected leaders usually represent and follow the views of the culture; the leaders don't make decisions that change the culture's morals or values (usually). I think America's values are changing and that's more and more obvious. People don't feel the need to be good moralists and we have an ever increasing selfish society. I think that is being reflected in our elections. That's all I'm going to say about that.

We spent our Election Day by going to Camp Cothran and playing. Our big kids played outside in the freezing cold and we kept babies and little ones inside. Then we all enjoyed some hot chocolate and fresh baked bread. Thanks Jill!
