My "Pretty" Blog

 photo graceandlight_zpsbe46ebfd.jpg 

I realize that I have been bad (okay, terrible) about keeping this blog up to date.  You may think that I'm a big ol' blog slacker.  When it comes to this blog, you'd be right.  

In contrast, I have been working hard on making my pretty blog pretty and posting good, new content every single weekday. 

I know that many of you have already found my other blog, but for those of you that haven't, I thought I'd share the link.  It is www.graceandlight.typepad.com.  Or, you can just click on the photo above and it will take you there.  

I am not abandoning this site.  I like to put more of our personal/family photos here and smaller stories that maybe don't feel blog-worthy at "grace and light."   But, it seems to be true that I am more dedicated to that one, just now.  So, if you are just dying to know more about what's going on in the Petermann world (or at least the brooke world), you can get regular updates there.

Sam the Political Activist


Sam participated in his first political campaign, on Saturday.  I had to work all weekend, so Brian loaded Sam and the stroller into the car and went to walk a neighborhood in support of Trent Fellers, who is running for Lincoln City Council.

Brian campaigned for Trent, in a different part of the same neighborhood, a few weeks ago while I stayed home with Sam.  He said that his reception was much improved with a kid in tow.  They even stopped by a nursing home that was in the neighborhood and the ladies there were big fans of our Sam-Sam.  

Hopefully, all the walking, knocking and talking will garner Trent some extra votes and get a few more people to the polls on Tuesday.
