I think unions are completely outdated. Some of the comments in this article blow my mind.

Interesting and the Most Important...



I don't have a pic of Kristen by herself- I'll get one up soon. This is from a trip to NYC last spring.




My little lady Lauren Lucy and my main man Beau Michael. I jacked these pics from Kristen's blog. Kristen has become an amazing photographer.

Gendercide- The War on Baby Girls

I'm not sure how I feel about this story as my first official post. I read this article in The Economist last night and I cannot stop thinking about it. Kristen and I, and many of our friends, have taken tests, visited doctors, fasted, prayed, spent thousands of dollars on infertility treatment and anything else we could to have kids. We were thrilled to have kids- whatever gender.

I'm ashamed and embarrassed that I was ignorant to this. I had heard about China's 'one child rule', but I never took the time to think about what that meant. This story is heartbreaking and, to me, illustrates how evil and desensitized humankind can be. I believe gender is eternal and divine. This article is so sad on so many levels- the aborted and neglected children, the long-term effects on the parents, the long-term effects on society.
