It was one of those days that will be remarked about and remembered for a very long time--fortunately because of triumph and not tragedy--and we celebrated every minute of it. There were tears and smiles and champagne and cupcakes; discussions, hugs and, at times, thoughts of disbelief. Mostly, what we felt throughout the day on which President Obama was sworn into office was optimism. We hope that you did too, because there's so much work to be done that there really isn't any room for negativity. (Stop listening to the media, by the way--especially financial analysist--it'll drive you bonkers). Since the inauguration, we've been so pleased to see action from our federal government--we have new laws and policies already that advance womens' rights and we have already begun diplomacy with the Middle East. The economic stimulus package, while complex and controversial, is on its way. From our point of view, we are so grateful to see news like this. Here are some photos of Inauguration Day.
The kids watched the swearing-in and toasted to their future with juice and "peacecakes." Thanks, Nadine, for the yummy treats!
Friends and neighbors came together for Obama-tinis and to share in the joy. Thanks to everyone who came out with us.
Hooray for democracy!!
