Abigail checking out the lawn sign.

Chanting: "Yes on 8, yes on 8" as the cars drove by! :-) Just kidding.
In case you didn't know where we stand/stood on the issue, now you do! If you ask Noah he can tell you about it too - next time you see him ask him who can get married and he will tell you "One man, one woman". For a while there before he got it down he would come up with all kinds of wrong combinations, like: One man, 8 women - or One woman, 2 men. But now he knows the right answer! And he would always point out the prop 8 signs when we would drive by them.
The Saturday before the election we felt led to go and show our support for prop 8. and hopefully encourage others to vote, so we took our sign and walked to the main intersection by our house and held up the sign. We prayed and sang and waved to people as they drove by. It was pretty neat to see peoples responses. We got a lot of honks, waves, and thumbs-ups. It was interesting, we only got one car of thumbs-downs and that was by the kids in the back seat of a car. (I guess their parents are teaching them just like we are teaching ours).
Praise God Prop 8 passed! The little exercise in freedom of speech that we did as a family was really a blessing to us, and a lot of fun too.
