On our way to the polls with all our ladies on the night of the Election!  The little old lady poll workers loved our entourage.  I’m holding Stella, JD has Zoey.  Didn’t realize how sorta dorky we look being political nerds!

In all seriousness, it felt so special to cast my vote in the public high school that my kids will go to someday and my Dad would have gone to if his family had stayed in Buffalo, especially being a teacher.  I hope that next time we take this walk with all our girls, when Lucy has just begun Kindergarten in 4 short years, a lot has changed for the better in our educational system.  I won’t open that can of worms at this hour of night.  BUT- I hope a lot has changed (for the better) with the war, the economy, the student loan system, health care, women’s health and birth issues, early childhood education, social security, veteran services, equal rights for same sex couples, issues of poverty, americorps programs and on and on and on and on……. Hoping for positive growth all around!
