Piggle at the polls

Charlie Jo and I had a great morning. First, we practiced playing while sitting up. She is really improving her balance! Next, we got dressed and went to coffee with a group of moms and babies from my moms' group. Charlie charmed everyone with her smiles and her amazing sitting-up ability. And her spitting-up ability. But I digress.

On our way home, we swung by the gargantuan church that serves as our area's polling station to vote in the local election and state primary election. We were very excited to vote for a Bob Tuke to be the party's nominee for US senator, because I got to know him pretty well through my work with Vanderbilt Law alumni. Charlotte was pronounced the cutest voter of the day by the poll workers, and a sweet old man put an "I voted!" sticker on Charlie's infant carrier. I have one question though -- is it bad that I wrote in Charlotte JoAnn Stringer as a write-in-candidate for an uncontested election?

Now we're packing for our big trip to Arizona and California. Corey informed me that it is going to be too hot for clothing and says he plans to be nude most of the time. Well, I guess that leaves more room in the suitcase for Charlie and me.
