President Bush and the first lady continue their stay at their ranch in Crawford Texas where they are based for the month of August.

Though this is a time of relaxation and recharging of the batteries he continues to conduct governmental business from what has been dubbed the western White House.

As I have been unable to find any photos for today I am posting a special that I have put together contrasting the campaign style of the President and Vice President in regard to babies and young children and their adult children.

There are a some heart warming photos mainly from last year election campaign though I have included other photos which are not specifically election events but are relevant to the subject

On Saturday the President threw the first pitch in a Little League Base Ball game at Marvin Norcross Stadium Waco, Texas, he attended the game with the First Lady and Secretary of State Condi Rice (notice the friendly reference to Secretary Rice in the quote of the day – I suspect seeing as this was a cause dear to his heart and he was relaxed hence the informal reference to the Secretary of State – personally I thought it was rather heart warming).

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island

Yes that last photo is lovely. That is actually from 2000 RNC and it is the oldest grand daughter Kate is about 11 now. I get he impression she is a special favourite probably because she is the first grandchild and also now getting to the stage where one can have an adult conversation with.

Thank you glad you enjoyed them. I miss the dogs as well

She looks to me on the verge of a nervous breakdown and where will her so called supporters be then - no where I suspect.

Yes the children are dressed like little girls most times in pretty dressed sometimes in trousers but mainly dresses or skirts. One dress that Elizabeth was wearing reminds me on one her mom had in one of my favourite photos of her with the VP so maybe Lynne's influence is here or maybe Liz remembers those sort of dresses with fondness herself and wants her children to be dress similar.

Liz with her dad in 1968

Then her children with similar pattern dresses in 2004

Very similar pattern dresses

It is a lovely suit she has worn it before for a press conference probably on one of her middle east visits.

Here is a close up of Elizabeth's dress or it might be a 2 piece you can see the very pretty flowers on it

I do not know if it is the photo you mean but this is from 2001 and there is a wheel chair bound player in this shot

Here are 2 from this year as well

sungs, thanks for these pictures. They are beautiful.

The one I am looking for has the President bend over this beautiful wheelchair bound player, talking with him. Just the picture of the child is enough to make you cry.

Someday I'll find it.
