Tuesday, November 4, 2008 ~ Election Day!!!

The photos for today are going by order of the day, as it's important for us to see how this day unfolded...

Jake:

'Tick Tock, says the great clock'



Dave:

A memorable moment in Ohman family history...Jake going to vote for the first time EVER...and for a candidate he truly believes in and feels EXCITED about!!...


Jake:

'Thankful'


'Opportunity'



Anne:

I've taken the kids in the voting booth with me from their earliest years... Since Jake got to vote, it was just Sam and I. And Sam will be voting in the NEXT presidential election!




Jake:

'As it should be'


Anne:

We were WILD!! We ran around screaming and whooping and hollering!! We went out on the deck and ran around and SHOUTED OUR JOY!! (What's the use of living on top of a mountain if you can't use it for just such purposes??!)

And then we sat with tears pouring down our faces when we listened to Obama's amazing, uplifting and historic speech...

It's a new day. We did it. It's over. And all is truly well.
