Inauguration Day

I have a feeling of profound patriotic pride today. So much so, that I proudly put our flag out.

It is a historical day in many ways. Maggie wanted to stay home from school to watch Barack Obama be sworn in as the 44th President. Thankfully her teacher put the broadcast on in class - yay!

I have alot of hope for the future and as I work I can see the flag billowing in the wind outside of my office and I smile.



Later, I will bake cupcakes and decorate them for today's occasion thanks to the idea of my friend Vanessa who is a super blogophile and always finds the neatest things!
