First lady Michelle Obama wore a sparkling yellow-gold sheath dress with matching coat by Cuban-born American designer Isabel Toledo for the inauguration of her husband, a choice many applauded as a cheerful message of hope and a vote for the American fashion industry.
She paired the embellished ensemble with green gloves from J. Crew and green shoes.
President Barack Obama wore a red tie and white shirt with his suit, topped with an overcoat adorned with an American flag pin.
Their daughters were style icons in their own right, with 10-year-old Malia in a double-breasted periwinkle-blue coat with a blue-ribbon bow at the waist, and Sasha, 7, in a pink coat with orange scarf and satin belt, a coral-colored dress peeking out at the hem. Their coats were from Crewcuts by J. Crew.
The fashion industry has anxiously looked to the election of Obama for months, embracing his wife as an emblem and ambassador of modern American style. She has won praise for her penchant for lesser-known designers and bold fashion choices, mixed with her unabashed love for mass fashion from mainstream American retailers.
Mr. President
Making history as the first African-American to become president, Obama took the oath of office with his hand on a Bible used by President Abraham Lincoln, also a former U.S. lawmaker from Illinois, at his first inauguration in 1861.
The excitement surrounding Obama's inauguration reached a fever pitch in the nation's capital, as hundreds of thousands came to participate in the celebrations.
This was such an exciting day for me. My granddaughter Lexie stayed home from school today just to watch this day of history with me. We stayed glued to CNN, afraid we would miss something. She is such a smart young girl, and for her age she completely understood the importance of this historical day. When they took a break Lexie and I fly off to go shopping. We had only 1 hour. She bought two pair of pants, and I bought some cute shirts and we bee lined it for home. We walked in the door just in time.
What a beautiful day, today was. My heart my mind, my soul has been touch in such an amazing way, its almost hard to describe. All I know is that I feel happy,in such a unspeakably way. May God bless our President, and may God bless our country.

President-elect Barack Obama - On the eve
WASHINGTON - On the eve of his inauguration, President-elect Barack Obama visited wounded troops at a military hospital, helped paint a wall at a shelter for homeless teens and paid tribute to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on the civil rights leader's national day. He said there can't be "idle hands" at a time of national hardship and pledged to make the government do its part.

At next week's inauguration
One of the perks of being the Commander-in-Chief is getting to ride in the back of a presidential limousine. And while certain presidents have had hand-me-down chariots, President-Elect Barack Obama is set to get a brand-new, high-tech model.
Looking much like a standard Cadillac DTS stretched to the limits, Obama's new ride is an altogether different beast, with the highest levels of protection, technology and luxury a presidential limo has ever seen.
Joshua's Mother with baby Luke
My son-inlaw Joshua lost his mother
this past Sept to Cancer. I know he must
really miss her. She spent a few weeks
with the kids after Luke was borne.
It is hard filling her shoes. She was
so special.

Luke's first Christmas
I was looking for something, when I came
across this precious picture of Luke.
Beautiful Pictures of Bucks
There where three big bucks by the side of the road. Tim came home to get me, so I could see them. They where so big and beautiful.
