Inauguration.
I've had the TV on (BBCNews24 is my friend) most of the day (except for when The Cherub played golf on the Wii, she's very good at whacking the ball far, far away), and at about one minute to 5pm GMT (12 noon Washington time) Darcy came through the door with a bottle of champagne in his hand! Yay!
So we all got to watch the inauguration together (Darcy quipped "The President's dead, long live the President!" as the crowd cheered) and sip some bubbly, and then The Cherub (who can't pronounce Obama's name properly, bless her) saw the President smile and very loudly announced: "Obabababama is happy! Obabababama saved the world!" - and we all laughed. (I have no idea where she picked up the world saving thing, it's not something I've been telling her.)
I'm sure lots of people will be more eloquent than I, so I'll just say congratulations America - I hope that your new President can fulfill at least *some* of the expectations he is saddled with, and prove himself to be a good steward. Only time will tell, but - as a wise man once said - there's never been anything false about hope.

I hope so too! I know he is going to try and that is more than I can say about our previous president. So at least we have that.

She's almost 3 1/2 and too adorable for words!
Chicklet wants to go visit Obama and play with his daughters.
Impish Girl (7) wants to *live* in the White House... We're trying to explain that having the President as your dad isn't as cool as it might seem.

Indeed. Anyone (well except Palin) would have been better than W! ;)
