5 days to go....
Those Daily Show clips make me feel like McCain is an angry little leprechan who got his lucky charms stolen.
Just for the record, here is the actual debate where Obama is speaking and McCain gets to rebut...
Before They Go, Countdown To Election Day
This one is the latest greatest hit....Sarah Palin on fruit fly research:
Here's a list of Palin's college classes taken:
Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism
So, probably no biology 101 in there, huh?

Wisc us away!!!!
The next day we had a Madtown shower and an anti-shower. Later on they merged and canceled each other out into nonexistence (little particle physics joke there.. HA!). Can you guess whether the below spread was served at the shower or the antishower?
Back to the real shower, Rx got a diaper cake! how cute!
Here I am in the new Micro building on campus... It was completed the month I left... damn! It is crazy awesome inside! Very futuristic.
On our last night, we went to Warthogs fan appreciation night! Awesome. Afterwards, we went to the Stadium bar. They have my favorite arcade game Buck Hunter Pro. Check it out!!

small rant before the wisc post...
Social engineering.. how ironic... social engineering is how we got so far outta wack with the rest of the world in the first place. Only that social engineering was pushing that bar to the right, and the people pushing were the banker/corporate party that runs our government (composed of incumbents from either party) at the whim of lobbyists. They pushed the money from the poor to the hands of an elite few.
I for one would rather see that bar graph go to the left, I am not talking Denmark style (although I hear Denmark is awesome) but the momentum needs to shift. I dont want to end up like Mexico which is basically a neuvo-feudalist society (FYI Mexico watch out for this). If saying that makes me a socialist... we'll thats fine with me comrade.

20-weeks and counting..fingers, toes, heart chambers, etc., etc.
Surprisingly, we also got to see a 3D image of the baby's face.....
Well, we would have had Baby not had arms in front of face, as seen above. After a few jiggles with the ultrasound probe, the technician got him/her to move the arms out of the way.....
Introducing Baby Borrok - I hope it's not creepy to anyone. I think it's adorable, but of course I'm supposed to, right :) Still has an arm up there blocking the side of the face, but this was as good as it got.
Here's a new profile shot - much like the other one, but now we're bigger. 12 ounces. You can see the hand above the forehead. We also got to see opening and closing of the mouth. They checked for opening and closing the hand, checked all brain anatomy, spinal cord, heart anatomy and function (baby got its first echocardiogram!), liver, bladder, kidneys. It was really amazing how detailed they could get on all this. And here's the little foot print!! Awwww
20 more weeks!! Seems like forever - I can't believe I'm only half way there.

Care Packages
We were so excited to see all the cute tiny tiny baby clothes! Roxanne's mom sent us a cute onesie with booties!
Flipper slippers! How cute is that?
Peggy, Dave and the kids sent a box that looked like someone at the post office sat on... fortunately the contents were alright! Here is Louie modeling some cute overalls.
Here are some MO oriented clothes. ("show me" the cuteness)
Frog oriented clothes...
Here is Roxanne testing out the boppy pillow with Bunny.
Priscilla did not like being swaddled... I hope the baby does.
David Jr. and Bella wrote on the box for us. Here is Sooky falling down the stairs!! Oh no!!
Thanks a lot for the goodies, we really appreciate it!
The stars at night... are big and bright...
We had fun, evidently it is the best Capitol building in the US... dare I say the world! The Texas Capitol is about 7 feet higher than the National Capitol. It is the tallest capitol in the United States today, rising 309 feet 8 inches from the basement floor to the top of the Goddess of Liberty statue.
I will give you a hint... This guy bears the same similarity.
