Emma goes to the Capital

On Friday there was a bill being introduced to the senate regarding the licensing of Birth Centers in Montana. If it passes, then insurance companies will pay for their clients to deliver at a birth centers. I had to prepare a three minute testimony and deliver it to the senate committee. Wow! I had to take Emma with me to soften the senate. I think it worked! Half way through my speach I realized that no one was paying attention to me, just Emma. They were oohing and aahhing. Elaine had to take Emma so they would listen to what I needed to say. We haven't heard if they voted or not, there were so many people there in support, I hope it will.

Look at you taking a stand. Way to go chicka! That is awesome. Okay so Emma looks so cute. I think I can totally understand why they were oohing and ahhing at her. I think that you look pretty hot yourself. Did you get any oohs your way?

Elsie has the dress in the same material. We should get pictures of them in it. How cute would that be. What have you been doing. I miss your face!
