Well Kiddos, today was a day that I believe shall live in History forever. Today the 44th President of the United States, the first African American President Barack Obama, said 35 little words that make up the Oath of Office and became the new leader of our country.
If you are wondering what you where doing during this historical moment so you can tell your kids (my future grand babies, which BTW: I hope to have alot of grandbabies) here you go:
Brynn my sweet, I put you down for a nap, which was a good thing for mommy because I doubt I would have been able to watch it had you been awake. If you were awake, the Elmo demands would have been endless.
Audrey my love, you were doing great hanging with mommy until you had the biggest blowout diaper I have ever seen in my whole life! Once I got you all cleaned up, I realized I had no extra clothes for you because all the clothes where in Brynns room. So you spent the inauguration having naked tummy time until sissy woke up. But I have to admit, you really enjoyed it!
I hope some day to be able to explain to you the great significance of this day. What it meant for our country and I hope I can show you what a great place America is, and what it means to be proud that you are an American. Today was a great day for our country.
Here is my favorite part of the speech, at least the part that I got to watch, because my beautiful Brynn woke up and immediately demanded that the TV either be turned off or Elmo be provided.
"The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."
Let us hope that this is a new beginning for us, and that we as a nation can join together and make this America a better place for you my little sweet Brynn and Audrey to grow up and raise your own babies in.....did I mention: LOTS of babies ;)
