I wanted to share some tidbits about Cole's involvement in the political process. Cole really got into the spirit of things. We listen to alot of NPR and whenever they would talk about Obama or McCain (which is always), he would start talking about them. Mike got a McCain bobblehead at a minor league baseball game this summer and Cole sai, " John McCain, I have to change your diaper". And then he told McCain he was "in trouble" and put him in time-out-- IN THE REFRIGERATOR. And still even now, whenever we open the door to get a snack, there is John McCain nodding approvingly at us. Then we took Cole to the polls when we voted and he cried when we left saying he "want to do America again". Check out the video below (I cut it off a little too soon- sorry).

Soupy-Man

Its a bird. Its a plane. Nope, its Colden!. Cole pronouces Superman as Soupy-man (really funny to us). He really got into the spirit of it this year. We are fortunate though that by the next morning he had forgotten all about the candy he had gotten!

Cole is getting really good at counting- up to twenty and can do his ABCs really well. His latest and greatest is to tell us "I'll be back in a minute". Nothin else to report from here- just work, eat, play, sleep. I posted a bunch of pics on the ficker site so check them out if you want (see the link to the right- More Swabo pics). Peace.

Oh yeah- Gas here is $1.93 (if it goes much lower, I think people might bathe in it 8-) and it flurried this morning. Booooo.
