Our children were home from school, so we had the opportunity to watch the inauguration ceremonies (at least part of them) for President Obama together. I want our children to be able to contribute to tomorrow's classroom discussion and future discussions that no doubt will take place regarding Obama's election & inauguration. I wanted our children to see history made even though they know I don't agree with all of Obama's policies.
It's a blessing to be an American. It's a blessing to be a part of the election process. It's a blessing to see a peaceful, respectful change of power.
A favorite moment in the inauguration for me was John Williams' (IMO inspired composition) "Air and Simple Gifts" performed by Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Gabriela Montero, and Anthony McGill. Enjoy...

I agree. It's this process that allows us to be American, it's so important that our children understand the freedoms we have and how we have them. The vid. clip is amazing. I love him.
