I can't believe that it's already been since Halloween that I updated this thing! Soooooo Sorry everyone! Life just gets ahead of me sometimes!

I just caught a bit of the televised Presidential Inaugeration and I have to say...it was a very moving moment in history. The sheer volume of people was just outstanding! I think Obama understands the immense shoes that he has to fill, and his speech seemed to reflect the weight that has been placed on his shoulders. I hope we see wonderful things in the coming months!

I found out an interesting tidbit the other day.....apparantly the traditional first visit of a new US president has always been to Canada.

George Bush broke that tradition and went to Mexico.

Obama will be revisiting this tradition and coming to Canada for his first trip.

I think that pretty much sums up the character differences right there!

In other news.....Christmas was HUGE this year! We decided to go on a holiday...not something we've done for about 8 years. It was surprise to the kids on Christmas morning, but for the life of them, they could not figure out all the clues in the box until the very last one. As our oldest unwrapped the little handbook for Disney World, his face lit up and he looked like he was going to cry...I was already crying. Anyways, after some serious reservations about flying our youngest was also swept up with the excitement of a family vacation and escaping the cold winter air for a little break. It's all they've talked about since, and I can't wait to watch their faces as we exit the plane and head for Disney.

So I'm hurrying to finish the last of business before we head out. Hopefully I can update with some new things when I return.

See ya!
