We had a few good family moments today during the inauguration ceremony. These moments are brought to you by Maggie who has a fever of 100.5 (but is still her same self ) and Ellie insisted on staying home as well to help care for her sister.
We gathered round the television at 11:51 to begin watching the inauguration. After Biden was sworn in while Yo-Yo Ma and others were playing a arrangement of "Air and Simple Gifts" by John Williams, the camera focuses on Obama whose eyes where closed. I turned to Ellie and asked, "What do you think he is thinking about?" Ellie was silent for a moment...and then said, "God." To which I replied, "Yep, I bet he is"
As Obama was giving his speech, Ellie said ,"Mommy, all big girls are watching Obama. I'm a big girl."
Just some fun comments besides the usual of Maggie chanting, "My Obama, My Obama" To which Ellie says, "He is all of ours."
He sure is all of ours---what an exciting day!! Kind of happy that Maggie was sick. The girls and I made some good memories together.
