((HUGS))Good morning, LUV W. I’m pissed off too about this Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare. I’m going to address it tomorrow on my blog, Edward’s Journal.

Good morning, Luv...what a horrid thing to wake up to, my phone ringing with the "news".....the screwing of America. What else will they make us buy or be penalized with a "tax"? Sick! Sick! Sick!

Good mornin’, Kathy...((HUGS))...DDDD Zeus thinks all is OK. He enjoyed having two diapers to sniff plus the wiener dog to play with.

DDDD had to adjust to a mobile little one yet handled it well.

Nate & his mom headed home at about 0830 this am.

Got to hold him, play on the floor with him, track after him when he explored the house finding what we had forgotten to make baby exploration safe, & just enjoy the almost toddler,

[Kathy in Alaska]

Sounds like an exceptional time was had by all. d:o)

Remember when your kids were that small?

[SandRat]

GranMa SR dug out all the old photos to show how much Nate looks like his Daddy. Madison is so little yet we can’t tell yet.

[SandRat]

The missile launch my son did in Hawaii was a success, so he's headed home to see Nate crawl for real instead of combat low crawling for the first time.
