James grew again. Mac finally uploaded a lot of pictures he had stored on his camera. He took some of the kids this morning. James had another growth spurt recently. Look at how freakin big he is! I know I can’t refer to him as my baby*, but it won’t be long before I cannot [...]

Mac and I were not among the people getting in line at the polls. Why? Because we voted over a week ago. Kansas set a record this year in advanced ballots: 419,650 had either been cast in person or mailed as of Monday. The last record was set in 2004 with 245,680 advanced ballots. Kansas [...]
