Robert's Blessing

We took the opportunity this weekend to crash in Bellingham at the Booth's for Robert's blessing. We fit a lot in...

We played video games


And watched video games


We slept


And didn't sleep


We made lots of cinnamon rolls


We played with Maren


And with Chip


We cooked more


And blessed Robert


And saw Pat


And Lily LOVED homemade applesauce (she cried when she finished her bowl)


And, of course, we dressed them up in matching outfits and took many pictures

(That's my space, Lily!)
(I'll show you for elbowing me!)
(We'll be good if you stop...)
What an adventure!

Too little, too late?

This article details some of the reasons behind the retraction of Dr. Wakefield's study of the link between autism & the MMR vaccine, including his irresponsible treatment of children, his unethical acceptance of payment by lawyers representing those who believed the vaccine caused autism in their children, and his unacceptable study parameters.

Please, make use of the miracle of medicine and vaccinate your children. They deserve to be protected from these debilitating & sometimes lethal diseases.
