I can't say that I voted for the man but every time I think of him, what he has already done for history and our country. Tear well...
I thought this morning it was more important for Jack to watch the news at breakfast then to put his shoes on. We had a discussion about who the new president is and who the old president is, about the first children, about mom and dad visiting the White House (separate trips), and about possibly going to visit Great Aunt Sue in Washington D.C.. I was amazed about how much Jack understood and the questions that he asked. Through all of this Abby sat passively eating her daily ration of waffles and a banana, she requested that "Barack Obama bring me a present." Confused I retraced the previous conversation in my head, why would the President bring Abby a present??? Then it dawned on me, she thought that we were talking about presents not THE PRESIDENT! From the mouths of babes!
I wish the new President and his family well and I pray that President Obama is able to achieve the change that he has promised.

Such an interesting experience. With all this Lincoln emphasis, Patrick asked who Lincoln was. I started with the penny and ended with freeing the slaves. He was kind of scratching his head to absorb it all.
