Found in a Run-down Boston Public Housing Estate: Barack Obama's Aunt Zeituni Onyango

(FROM: UK Times Online) So, his half-brother lives on one dollar each month in Kenya, and his aunt lives in dilapidated public housing in Boston. How wonderful. For a guy who is often seen as elitist and egotistical, this sure does a lot for that perception. Between Sen. Joe Biden's abysmal record of donations to charity--in the past ten years, the Bidens have given $3,690 out of their $2,450,042 in income--and Obama's failure to provide at all for his own family, the same family spoken of so nicely in his memoirs, it's a wonder that the pair can so successfully misrepresent themselves as caring for those who have less than they do. Amazing how they have no qualms about forcing ordinary Americans like you and me to share our wealth involuntarily, but have utterly refused to volunteer to share their own.

Little Baby Ray

At week 9 everything is going fine so far...other than "all-day" sickness that Anna is going through at the moment. Thanks for your prayers for our little one.

how does it taste now?

if you have ever met my grandpa Ray you can probably imagine the innocent smile on his face during this quick exchange.
In September we were enjoying the fruits of the fall harvest that my parents neighbors had genorously given to us. Now these neighbors, Patrick and Michael, who are the nicest neighbors you'll ever want to meet, but they are not brothers or roomates ( if you know what I mean).
Now my grandparents were over and we were eating the most beautiful red ripe tomatoes you can imagine; these hems were just bursting with flavor. Half way through one my grandpa commented on how delicious they were. I responded that they were from the gaye neighbors...without missing a beat he said, "hmmm, now I'll have to take another bite and see if it tastes different."

why do we call it the library?

we pulled up to the library after church today and Josh asked:
"why do we call this the 'Libary' (pronounced lie-berry)?...because it lies and eats berries?

It is hard to keep a secret

Its hard to keep a secret especially when it is something that we want to share with our family and friends. So after only a few days of trying to keep it to ourselves I (Jesse) spilled the beans enough times that we felt everyone should hear it from us...so here it is: We are expecting.

Please pray for us and the new baby.
