A Historic Day

Dear Cooper,
On Tuesday, January 20,2009, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President. The reason why it is a historic day is that he is the first African American President of the United States of America. George W. Bush served as our President for 8 years and now is passing his duties to Obama.

What were we doing during Barack Obama's Inauguration:

I was at work at Kevco Carpets and Vinyl as Office Manager.We watched some of the Inauguration at work.

And you were with your Grammy B. You played at the house, watched Wild Hogs, ate at the Cheesecake Factory with GiGi, Aunt Ally, and Grammy B. I know Wild Hogs is probably not a good choice for a 2 year old, but you LOVE that movie. You say "thunna" and "varoom varoom" when you want to watch it. I have NO IDEA what "thunna" means, but when I hold up the movie, you say "yes". That night, we ate turkey spaghetti and peaches. You ate like a little piggy! That made mommy VERY happy!! We had a fun night together playing and watching tv.

We were still living in our house in Calera. And getting it ready to sale.

So when you are older and someone ask you what you were doing when Barack Obama was sworn in as our 1st African American President, you will know the answer.

I love you,
Mommy
