The photo is "borrowed" from our friend Emily Belz's Flickr pictures. We were wondering if Will was up the tree!
I don't know if you watched the concert in Washington D.C. yesterday or not, but we happened upon it after watching a movie last night. They were re-broadcasting it over and over on HBO. We caught one of them around 9 pm.
America can throw a party, and how! It was exciting, amazing, inspiring to watch and listen to speeches and great music. We felt very patriotic and proud to be Americans at this time in our history. The setting at the feet of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial gave a sense of awesomeness. The crowd joining in to sing "Shout" made us want to get up and dance ourselves.
We are so blessed to be part of a country that can unite and celebrate all its unique characteristics. Power is not only peacefully passed from one man to another, but is celebrated. Yes, we will not always agree, but we can live with one another and accept one another-Jew or Palestinian, Irish or English, Muslim or Christian. Where else, but America?
I'm ready for some more celebration!
