Moving day for the Obamas

Originally uploaded by Laura Erickson

I'm very glad that the Obamas are all moving together to Washington. If they were chickadees, they'd send their two daughters off into two different flocks before winter. So chickadees aren't so very "family values" after all. We titmice stick together in our nuclear families all winter. Only, unlike some families I could name, we never go nuclear on each other.
