Hello All! Today is our primary in Michigan and I voted today. We will see the outcome as far as the Republicans are concerned. The only democrat front runner on the ballot was Hillary. This is because we as a state moved our primary date up and both the national parties are penalizing us. Our state has been stripped of all our democratic delegates and half the our republican delegates as far as the parties national conventions. Sort of frustrating as a voter, but I voted all the same. One of my observations at our local polling place, I was the only person in the room under 60 years old : )
Here are some recent pictures of our family and most especially HOPE. I know my mother and father-in-law are probably excited to see her changes over just a few short weeks. She is getting so big and her face looks so much more "Chunky". I suppose this is one of the 
only times in life a girl can be called "Chunky" and not get offended. She is just looking so much more filled in as she adds on all that good fat. She is smiling now and loves her big brother and sisters. She smiles at them regularly, as well as her Daddy. For Mommy she commonly has squawks as she mostly associates me with food and is wondering when her next meal will come. I have also included some pictures of our family on our most recent sledding trip. H
ope did sled down the hill with mommy for her first sled run. She was very bundled and sat in her car seat most of the time. I think she was the warmest of us all.
Sledding is always one of our families favorite times. The kids love it and never complain about huffing it up the hill over and over. They know we will not carry them. When they are tired they can rest at the top of the hill. When we are all done with the great outdoor exercise we all get to enjoy hot cocoa and cookies. The snow just keeps falling here today. So most likely more sledding pictures to come soon : ) Love, Crystal
