A Dream Come True

"Barack Hussein Obama, 47, became the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday afternoon, banishing forever more than 200 years of history during which the office passed from white hands to white hands and promising a new era of 'hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.'”~Today Show

We sat eagerly awaiting.  
Our four year old saying, "Where is Barack Obama?"  
Eyes wide with expectation.
It is as if time stopped for a moment.
 A historical day of change and hope.
Kids, we will never forget this.   





Scroll down on this link and watch Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman perform right before Obama is sworn in as the nation's 44th president.

That's one of the beautiful things about homeschool. Being able to enjoy these moments with your kids.
