The Change We Need

Today, Liam and I went to the rally at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds to hear Senator and Presidential Candidate Barack Obama speak. It was a neat experience. Click on the video to watch the complete rally (25 minutes).












This video is of Senator Obama taking the stage. It's a bit wiggly because I was rocking Liam and shooting the video at the same time. Just sway along and you won't get seasick. :)



Here are some pictures of us at the rally.

The car ride home, after a long day of being a good little American:

I wanted Liam to witness this piece of history--kind of like his very own JFK moment. A woman we met today said that even though she was a product of the 60s, she has never experienced anything like the rally we attended today. She was happy to have been a part of it. I told her that I wanted that for Liam--to be here during this historical event in his country. She said, "When he's 8 years old and Obama is leaving office, he will be able to say that he was there right from the beginning."

What a wonderful day!

Now if only our little baby Liam could vote...
