Big H HobNobs With the Politicos

I can't blame Joe Biden for picking up Big H.  Because who can resist the lure of Big H with a "Toddlers for Obama" t-shirt on?

Candlelight Reflection

Look at that!  There I go posting again.  Don't get used to it though. LOL!

I've emerged from my campaign chaos to participate in the Greeblepix Photo Contest for October.  I hear Amiee and she's an honorary MOMocrat.  I got to see her twice this summer - at BlogHer and at the DNC - where she was nice enough to ignore the fact that all the MOMos smelled after roasting at Invesco for oh, 12 hours.

I took the photo below of Holden, after we lit the candles on my birthday cake last Saturday evening.  I knew I had to take a photo when I saw the candlelight reflected in his eyes.  I did not use a flash.

Whatever I do and wherever I go in the future, I must feel that I'm making a difference in the world.

I'll be back after the election.  In the meantime, here's part of what we've been up to over at BSF4O:
