eliana for obama

Amazing things happen in this small, mountain town. Yesterday we had the absolute honor of welcoming Senator Barack Obama to the Adams Center. Jeff diligently got the family tickets, including our extended, seven person Lineage Dance family who was in town for a performance of their own. Over 8,000 Missoulians filled the space and there was a beautiful sense of pride, enthusiasm, and of course, hope surrounding Obama's words.


Though Eliana was exhausted by the end of the morning, she did a fantastic job listening and jumping up and down on her mama's legs when appropriate.


Jeff sat down on the floor and caught some beautiful pictures of the wise, charismatic, bright and (I just have to add it), extremely handsome senator.



The ladies of Lineage could not have timed their visit to Missoula any better. What a treat to have such star quality in our tiny town! Jeff's mom, Roseann, was thrilled with Obama's visit and even had an opportunity to pose with the Obama kayak!
