No, he really isn't this color, it was the lighting in the room - I was trying not to use the flash. He is the sweetest little baby, and this was our first night to tend him while his parents ran an errand. We loved it! His darling great-grandmother made the cute sweater and hat. Isn't it great?
Today history happened and I witnessed it. Though I wasn't physically in Washington DC, through the magic of technology, I was front and center sitting in my bed. No, I didn't vote for this African American Senator from Illinois, and I don't agree with some of his politics, but in the moment, I was proud to be an American. We have seen beyond color and, as a nation, elected a man the majority thought to be the best choice to lead our country. The transfer of power was done peacefully and full of grace from both the Obama's and the Bush's. The choice was made and I am ready to support this man, President Barack Obama, full of hope for the future of our country. Our new president says that he is ready to change politics in Washington, and I am ready to take him at his word. May God bless this land and may God bless President Obama.
