Role Models...

It doesn't matter to me what your voting preference is... Republican, Democrat, Independent. That's the beauty of our country, isn't it? But for our family, tears of joy were shed at the historical event of yesterday. The first African American to be nominated for a major party presidential ticket. My kids are all about to get these T-shirts, and we've had talks about how exciting it is to see a man with brown skin like them running for PRESIDENT! Even more thrilling to me is that Lily will see images of a First Lady who also looks like her.

My sweet friend Stacy wrote it best here. It sums up what we as parents dream of for our children.
