The world became a little brighter this morning at 5:37 am with the arrival of the Shofner baby. The family is resting and getting to know each other. We are so happy for them and send our love and prayers out their way.
We ate dinner with them last night, so it seems Melinda IS a wondermom after all. Perhaps it was my chili that did the trick.
Hope you guys enjoy this time together. We will see you soon. If you need anything we are here.

Politics, good marketing, & activism
So Saturday the wolverine and I attended the Nurse Out at Applebees on Nicholasville Road. Turn out was good, i would say over 100. And it was a blend of moms, dads, children, babies, grandmothers, and do-gooders. Im glad we participated. It didnt seem like much on our part but i think supporting a babies right to eat in public unimcumbered is a worthy cause.
It was HOT!!!! Did i mention that. We smeared on the sunscreen and the little guy ate snacks i had packed and drank water. He did great. We were able stay an hour before he hot antsy and wanted to walk around. By this point i was drained and needed to go anyway.
Nothing But Burgers showed their marketing savvy by bringing over ice water for everyone and offering FREE burgers to all involved. What genius. You wave some free food in front of pregnant and nursing women AND their hubbys and you have customers for life. There was no sign of Applebees or their corporate company......unbelievable. They blew a great opportunity to gain alot of loyal customers . All it would have taken was a public apology and an amending of their "policy" to offer blankets to nursing moms to cover up. If i were in charge i would be firing some PR people immediately.
So the wolverine got his first taste of activism. He kept saying "We went to the nurse out".....perhaps he will go on to follow his heart and help his fellow man.
