DAN! A different kind of election took place at the boy’s elementary school this week. The 3rd and 4th graders were selecting their class representatives for Student Council. Dan tried for this last year while in 3rd grade and didn’t make it. He was determined to not let that get him down. Last week he worked hard on his speech, which was a required one page essay. The speeches were given and two of the eight running were then selected through the ballot process. It is an exciting thing for him and we are pleased that he did not let discouragement take over and keep him from trying again this year. Way to go Dan. You are a GREAT kid and we are happy that you make up an important part of our family. You are a winner!
Another WIN was that the kids had the day off yesterday. We got up first thing and intended to be at the polling place when it opened. But as our mornings often go we got away 30 min late. Our line moved quickly but the process still took just over an hour. We were happy the boys could come with us. It was nice to show them the process, even when Nick messed up his ballot and had to get a new one. We celebrated Election Day and several other things with breakfast at Big Boy.

Big-Boy had a great buffet I loved it I was there with them.
Tell Nick that Isabel and I messed up our ballot too...we also had to go get a new one! Oh Well!! Have a good day!!
Way to go Dan! That's awesome!(If you do get elected just make sure that your wife/girlfriend does not wear a hideous number like Michelle Obama wore last night.)
Big Boy Buffet...that's pretty funny! At the hospital they call beds for large patients Big Boy Beds...well not anymore...they're not allowed. The politically correct thing is "Bariatric Bed". For large patients having a gastric bypass? Or maybe it's the code for saying they think the patient should have one?
Way to go, Dan! Very cool. And way to go on taking the boys with you when you voted. What a great way to get them excited about being involved in their country.
