Keith and Sefia's Aunt Rachel G. made some hats for them for Christmas, and we've finally taken a picture. Sefia loves her critter cap, and pulls it on right away. Don't you love the little 'ears'? Thank you Rachel!

Also, for you cat lovers...

And for those of you with boys, a little article about gun-play. I agree with the article, especially since I've already seen this behavior difference in Keith and Sefia. Keith thinks an Elmo drill is a gun, and likes to play dead when it is pointed at him. Of course Sefia doesn't need weapons. She just smacks with her hand. Immediate trip to timeout. Where she promptly gets naked and flings her diaper around. Sigh.

Anyway, I remember Eric and me playing with weapons at an early age. We made swords and guns out of legos as soon as we had enough legos to do it. And don't forget the dirt clod grenades from the corn/soybean fields around our New Paris house. Ahh. The satisfying 'smoke' that would erupt when I beaned Eric with the dirt clod. Of course when he ran to Mom, I had to somehow turn it into his fault. I was successful 50% of the time.

This will come as a surprise to anyone who knows me.  I want Rudy Giuliani to be the next Republican Presidential Nominee.  Mainly because I think his foreign policy would be the best, most stable stance for the U.S.  Even though I hate his position on abortion, gun control, and all the other socially conservative stuff I believe in.  I just think he will keep our country safer than any other Republican candidate.  That's not even mentioning the pansy chickens running for the Democrat Nomination.

So, Rudy is the man.  Unless a viable social conservative comes along.  And no, Mitt Romney aint it.
