Today Joshua and I went to Toby's class to watch the inauguration with Toby's first grade class. It was a wonderful moment to share with my two sons. The kids caught the enthusiasm of the moment cheering each time the camera showed Obama and you could see the curiosity in their eyes as they watched Malia and Sasha Obama stand up with their parents while our new President took his oath of office. What would it be like to see all this through the eyes of a child? What would it be like if your daddy was the President? As a mother, I am SOOO glad Dave is not the President...there is no telling what Joshua would have done while the world was watching...just the thought of having to stand up in front of the nation...and the world...with a precocious toddler makes me feel a little sick.
I feel blessed to live in a country where the transfer of powers is peaceful, where the President promises to serve the people of this country ( both rich and poor). It was a historic moment for all people. I am thankful that my boys will grow up in a country that strives for equality for all people. They can be anything they want to be. May the Lord guide their hearts and minds.
May God bless Barack Obama!

Amen! What a fun experience. Can we go out on a limb and agree, "We're also glad that Dave isn't president."
HA! How fun to catch up on all your postings.
