Happy Inauguration Day
Since our Television does not receive any channels Chance and I began watching the inauguration coverage early this morning on my computer, Special thanks to MSNBC to their live streaming coverage. We had a playdate which I planned a while ago when I totally forgot that it would be right when the Inauguration was happening but it turned out to be ok because we went a little early and left just in time to hear most of Obama's speach on NPR. Then we got home and have been watching it still on the computer. It is great because Obama or anyone else this transfer of power is one of the things that makes our country great. Lots of other countries do it too but as a worldwide society we have all come a long way and that deserves recognition. I hope everyone who wanted to watch it was able to and if you didn't lots of it will be up on MSNBC for a while so you can check it out there.
The first picture here is from yesterday when we left the house for the post office and after finding out it was closed due to MLK Day we were redirected aroudn the parade route but jsut two blocks away we came to a parking spot so I pulled in and we got out to watch the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade. I did not have my camera with me then but I took this picture after we returned with Chance's first beads of the season. The second picture is from our playdate today. We went to the mall onthe Westbank which is this great new mall that has been totally redone since Katrina and is always quiet. They have strollers shaped like cars with little steering wheels and everything. They cost $4.00 to rent so that was our playdate today. We rented those strollers and drove around the mall. Chance really liked it, this picture is when we were taking a break from 'driving' and were looking at the fountain.
