Jessie's Presidents' Day outfit

My SIL made this adorable outfit for her little girl. She was nice enough to pass it down to Jessica. Jessica makes it even cuter!

Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job

From The Onion on November 5, 2008

WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation's broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, "It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can't catch a break."

Heard Museum

Since Jessica gets to stay home with mom EVERY Thursday, I decided to keep Caleb with me a couple of Fridays ago. It was a gray day but we decided to go to the Heard Museum in McKinney anyway. We had a great time. Caleb walked all the way around the Wood Duck Trail (which is about 2 miles!). Towards the end we both got a little tired and sat down on a bridge to rest. It was great to hear all of his amazing ideas with no one to interrupt. We both had a wonderful time.

There's a fungus among us!

I think this was a wallaby. They had several unusual animals from all over the world.
