Our little man, there is hope for America's children! We will not look back and from now on we will look forward!
Our First Family 2009Today is 'A defining moment in history' for ourselves and most importantly our children.
We don't get to riled about politics at our house, but recently have been talking as parents about what political views and policies would help make America a better place for our children. As we awoke this morning we had been thinking and talking the past few weeks what today would mean for our children, today is the beginning of the future for our children and our children's children. Dylan is dressed in red, white and blue today in his patriotic attire. The Inauguration of the Nations 44Th President, what a moment in history as this president is the first African American President of the United States. It truly brings tears to my eyes to even think about what this means for the future of our children. I think it can be best stated by a piece of the Inauguration speech by our new president Barack Obama ": the God-given promise that all are created equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."
There is no question in our minds that God has something special in store for Dylan. He is such a miracle in itself and if you take a few moments to watch him go about his day, the moment he is in you will see what a very detail oriented, inquisitive little boy he is. This is the person he is becoming, there is such a grand future for him. As every parent thinks and wants the best for their children, no matter your political views, you as well as us, have to be so excited as parents, to think about what this new Presidency means for the future of our children. The world will hopefully be on the way to a better, peaceful, more whole world. It brings tears to my eyes when I look at the first daughters and think about how their father is literally going to do everything in his power to ensure that during his presidency he will begin to form the future and help it be a better place for his children and our children as well. "Starting today we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America." If you read the letter that Barack Obama wrote to his girls, it will melt your heart probably the same it did mine and Brads. The publication, Parade, published this last week. Amazing and so meaningful!
Dylan is doing so many wonderful things these days. He is talking a whole bunch and is even starting to stay more than 3 words at a time. It is just so heart warming to wake up each morning and walk into his room and have him greet you 'hi mama or hi daddy'. And he gets so excited in the mornings and evenings when mommy and daddy are home with him before we go our separate ways for the day or to bed at night. He will run down the hallway when Brad leaves for work and say 'where daddy go' and look for him. We can truly see through our children's eyes the importance of family and togetherness. And as we go forward with a new President we really feel that Barack Obama wants nothing more, than for everyone in America, to feel this togetherness as a country as well.
As I watched the Inauguration today, I could not help but have my eyes well up with tears and think about the hope that I have for our children that they will continue to feel this kind of love and togetherness from our family and their country for the rest of their lives. We are SO blessed to be their parents and have them as our children. And that they will be able to achieve their hopes and dreams and see the good in others and themselves as they grow and succeed. Life for our children will be different than our childhood once was. Technology and the world around us is ever changing but with our help as parents, and a President who promotes and tries to instill core family values, we can instill wonderful values into the hearts of our children, help them to feel equal and they can carry that on with them to future generations as well.
During the Benediction at the Inauguration today, Rev. Joseph E Lowery prayed, "we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to give back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man, and when white will embrace what is right."
Congratulations to our children and fellow friends and family members, we made history! Thank you lord for blessing our family and allowing us to embrace this momentous day for the future of our children!~
