Obama Boys!

Yeah! Obama, Obama...! We're quite happy with the results, but more importantly I so enjoyed watching Ian get into the election this year. He even filled-out my ballot for me. I have to admit that it's the first time in my voting life that I've really felt strongly about a presidential candidate and I think it rubbed off. But even beyond my contagious enthusiasm for Obama, Ian was able to gather information about the candidates that mattered to him. He heard Obama say that kids should receive more science education, and he was thrilled. He heard about Palin's hunting hobby, and he was pissed. He is proud that the country is finally ready to elect an African-American to the presidency. I am hopeful that his enthusiasm continues. As for Will, he was born on the day Obama accepted his party's nomination and, well, he looks darn cute in his Obama tee-shirt.
