This year's election is very scary and very serious. It is so important that everyone vote and continue to pray for our country. My Mother and I will be out of town so we have already voted through an absentee ballot. I may have already emailed some of you this but I hope you will follow it! It is great passages we all need to read and good prayers we need to be sending to GOD daily. We all need to be praying for the country everyday and in just 7 days there will be a new President. I pray that the right leader will be chosen. All the Christians in this country need to take a stand in what is right! GOD, please be with us through this.

We are still passy FREE! Well, mostly. Some days we go ALL day long without and then other days we need it just to get to sleep. I will stick it in for about one minute, she falls asleep and then I take it out. Hey, that's pretty good considering before she had it almost 24/7 and now she only has about 1 minute a day! Since two Thursdays ago when we took it from her, she has slept every nap and every night without it! Yea! And she goes everyday, all day without it, too. I even think I see her teeth moving back together a little. I cannot believe how great she has done with this! I just knew the nights and days were going to be awful without it, but she has done wonderful! I know it is because of all the prayers and thank you all for that! Hopefully soon she will not even need the passy to fall asleep. Also, since she stopped taking her bottle a while back, I was continuing to give her one bottle in the evening to make sure she was getting enough milk everyday. We got rid of that, too! I guess we are on a roll! What's next? I guess potty training will be soon enough! HA!
Patrick, Brandi and the kids came down to the Grandparents' house for a visit Saturday. We were so excited to get to see them! We had a great time as always.
How cute are they?
