Oh my goodness, wasn't it amazing?!! I was watching it on CNN most of the day, and they showed a lot of crowd coverage and everyone was emotional. And although they said his speech wasn't memorable, I thought it was outstanding! He's so composed, but doesn't seem like a politician at all, he seems really real, like a person who truly cares about the welfare of others and the country. And his love for his wife and daughters is evident in the way he interacts with them, it's beautiful.

Isn't the snow crazy? I'm from Massachusetts, and my husband always says how much he misses the snow, but I'm happy because we hardly get any here, but we got some this week! I took pictures of my daughter playing in it for the first time, I'll probably post them, she was so cute!

And congrats on your 10-month-old, I didn't realize your youngest was so young; aren't the little ones adorable?

I took pictures in the snow all morning. It was great!!! All three kids had a blast. I understand missing the snow. I am from upstate New York (I may have mentioned that)and it is one of the only things that I long for. It has been lovely.

I truly enjoyed the coverage of the inauguration. I was so worried for the Obamas' safety that day (even though he had a TON of Secret Service), but it turned out just gorgeous. I was very moved by many of the things he said in his speech. I was also moved by the coverage of his father's village in Africa and his old school in Indonesia, and those, so proud, around the globe. I have Cuban, Spanish, Chinese, and African heritage. I don't really look it, but I surely embrace every bit of it, and I am so thrilled at how diverse Barack's background is, and what he represents to it all. He is a REAL American dream.
