Inauguration Weekend

We're excited. This weekend, Mr. Obama comes to Washington as our new president. Hooray! From what we hear, it sounds like a weekend of fun and festivities is leading up to the big day... though unfortunately, we are not able to partake in the fun first-hand. Somehow, a crowd of millions doesn't seem like the wisest place for a 32-week woman pregnant with twins to be. Any other year, though, and we would bundle up, brave the cold, and head out for the inaugural action!

At least we are there in spirit, and at least the inaugural route is very familiar territory for us - even if Obama wasn't there before. We're just trying to convince ourselves that watching all the inaugural events in HD from our cozy home a couple of miles away is almost better than watching the real thing from a jumbotron in the cold on the National Mall. Still, we're sorry that we can't be there during this incredible time, and that the babies have to miss their first live inauguration. And, hopefully, it will be a different story when the time comes for Obama's second inauguration!
