At the Women's March in Raleigh

Because I'm a million months pregnant, we did not drive to DC, but instead to Raleigh where we joined 15,000 other people who marched. The girls were getting restless in the crowds, so we did a fair bit of walking around in search of open spaces.  The sign says "I stand up for..."  Madeline wrote, Women's Rights.  Margot told me to write, Mommy, YaYa, Margot.  with our signs, Madeline decided to write, Be Kind and Brave Mine said My Body, My Choice, another mother raising Smart Strong Girls! The crows were a little too much for Madeline, Margot liked them, but not the massive puppets in attendance. 

Time for five

When we were dating, I told Harris that if we ever stayed together and had children, I 'got' the first girl. I saw over and over and over again girls then women disappear in census records and hated it. He could have the first boy, and after that we'd alternate. We have two girls and the plan worked out nicely. We have a Spring, we have a Carpenter, and it looks like in February we'll add another Spring. Harris is so completely and lovingly outnumbered.
