mom, dad, joe and barack

Here's a great picture of my mom and dad from the announcement of Obama picking Joe Biden (or Joey B! as we like to call him around here) in springfield this summer. It was apparently a very hot day and there was no water to be had anywhere. But my super awesome parents braved the heat to go see it. I think it's awesome that I'll able to tell G they were there. That's the old state capital in the background, and a bit of Lari trivia-- I worked at a soup restaurant right there on the square the summer before I started taking education classes.

Mom and dad are the origins of my political views. I grew up in a house where old skool crossfire was on at the dinner table and we had lots of conversations about politics. I think they are two of the most generous people I know, and it is reflected greatly in their political beliefs. I love you, mom and dad!
