Change

We heard a lot about change last year, and as you know, we typically reserve this blog for stories and images of our first born. However, a funny thing happened earlier this week. We were getting ready for work/daycare, and Penny walked over to the Time magazine sitting on our coffee table and said, "Look Daddy. 'Rack Obama."

Penny spent last Tuesday, Inauguration Day, with Grandma and Grandpa while Mom and Dad made their way down to the National Mall to join the 1.8 million spectators. It turns out that Grandma frequently explained to Penny (as you do with toddlers) that Mommy and Daddy went to see the president. She started looking for us on TV.

So here are a few photos from our experience at the 56th Inauguration of the first African-American president, 'Rack Obama.

Oh, and by the way, Penny wore big girl underwear to daycare today. Change is coming!

3. Immediately after the oath.
