So, I hope all of you enjoyed Tuesday night as much as I did! Doesn't it seem like there's a new spirit in the air? I mean, for a while there, I was SO nervous, and every time I'd hear the news in the car or on TV I would just get a tiny twinge in my stomach that it might all go horribly wrong. But it hasn't! I'm so happy! I may be imagining things, but it feels like there's a different tone to the news now, and everybody is ready to see big things happen. I really think they will! Yay!!!!!!!
I was quite surprised to feel just how cold it was today. I have forgotten just how cold 30-degree temperatures are. I shouldn't be surprised, considering winter lasted clear until May last year, but it's still a rude awakening nonetheless. I need to get Emily a winter coat, because I don't think she's quite big enough for the one I found super-on-sale a few weeks ago. But she will be next year! She's so darned cute with a hood up, framing her face. OK, she's cute regardless. :)
We are really starting to get in a groove with this whole part-time work thing. Emily still takes a little morning snooze, but I'm okay if I want to take her somewhere and we skip over it. She's really mastering some of her toys, so we'll have to get some new things for her soon to keep her interested. It's fun to see her work on her puzzle. It's six pieces, cut apart with wavy lines, that fit onto a little board. Of course she doesn't get any of them in the right place, but she does put them face up all in the center of the board. And then she picks one up and turns it around and places it carefully in a different spot. And over and over and over again. She works so hard at it, and she's so focused! It's so neat to watch her learn.

That "new air" you refer to will last for a couple weeks after the inauguration, then Obama will be just another President.
BTW - love the costume party! Too funny!
