Here's some more pics of my favorite costumes from our neighborhood parade. The lamb was so sweet & she left a trail of cotton balls as she marched down the street. And take a look at the Chrysler Building. Poor little guy was exhausted from holding his head up.
I live in a city called Jackson Heights & it's amazingly diverse. In fact, it's one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in the entire world. I swear...look it up. Hundreds of different languages are spoken on the streets. I'm so happy that Leo will grow up here & get to play with kids of all kinds of ethnicity's & religions. He will not even notice things such as the color of someones skin. How great is that?
Last night, Tom & I cried. They were tears of joy, relief and especially hope. Barack Obama has given me & my family a great gift, for without hope, what do you have? I truly believe that he will do all he can to make this country better for my son & generations to follow. Will he falter from time to time...sure, but his heart is in the right place. Finally we are back on track.
Oh, Dawn! We are so happy for all you guys that Barack Obama won!! I have been thinking about you so much lately since about this time last year we were in NY and talked about these things. I would have wanted to know the results of the election first thing and was really nervous all evening. I was too fidgety to go to bed so I stayed up almost all night writing blog posts and waiting for news. I finally gave in at about 4 am and went to bed. When Pasi got up early in the morning I heard him go to the computer. The first thing I said was: ""What are the results?" Pasi answered "Obama won!". It's rare to wake up to such good news! I fell asleep again with a huge grin on my face. :) Take care, dear friends!
