Presidential Inauguration

Zane likes to watch people on t.v. like preachers etc... so he liked all the inaugural festivities. He stood in front of the t.v. and waved his hands and gibber gabbered. It was cute. I certainly think President Obama has a euphoric viewpoint on foreign policy and is definitely going to be overwhelmed because of his lack of experience but the Bible says to pray for the leaders of your country and that is really all that I can do. Although it is a historical because of his race it annoyed me terribly that is was made all about race and nothing else. When was the last time Oprah or Jay-Z showed up to support any other leader that has taken that office. The benediction given by the preacher at the end was repulsive and blasphemous. I think they have forgotten that he is HALF white and half black. The disrespect shown Fmr. Pres. Bush by the crowd and the poking comments made by our new President were uncalled for and premature. The responsibility given to the person that holds this office is beyond comprehension. You can't make everyone happy all the time. I think it is great to see so many African Americans standing with White people to cheer, and support an amazing event in our country. Slavery ended long ago, so lets see if they still make it the excuse for everything now that we have a half African American in office. Race is certainly not an issue with me but it seems the ones who have called for color blindness are the ones bringing it up to the forefront! I ask God to lead and guide the decisions of President Obama and to give him wisdom when dealing with hard issues, that is about all I can do. He has the platform and opportunity to change this country in a lot of good ways, but he needs wisdom not race to do it.

Yeah Snow!!-Somebody forgot to tell the bird!

It has snowed all day long at our house. This bird lives in the tree by the door and sometimes will fly out to greet you when you open it. She has nest after nest of babies in that tree. Obviously no one told her that snow is coming. Zane doesn't really go crazy over it either. He will go to the door and say "Snow, Cold!" I took him out and he touched it, threw it and then came back in. Maybe next year it will be more fun!

Zane and Pa!

My Dad, Pa, works 7 days a week most of the time so he doesn't get to see Zane a whole lot. He sees him a little in the morning and sometimes before bed if he gets home early enough, but its usually close to 10.
