"You need more pictures on your blog"

That's what they tell me. Some from this week:

Isaac ate a banana. Norah wore cute shoes that her Aunt Katie made. Aaron hula hooped it and laughed at his mom for not being able to hula hoop (why can I not hula hoop anymore? I used to be good!). Elliot practiced on the piano AGAIN the song that goes, "There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance. . . ." Lucky for all of us he doesn't know that that's how the song goes. He just thinks it's a nice song that his piano teacher makes him play over and over. . . and over. . . .

emily, we as mothers can not hula. Just a fact of life. Show me a mother who can hula, and I'll show you a freak of nature.

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t
