snapshot in time

When Sarah Hammond (right) was born in October 1980, we started a tradition. Each time the President of the United States changed, we made a photograph of the children with the newspaper headline about the election. The first one features baby Sarah in her crib with the Ronald Reagan headline in November 1980. We have continued the tradition and have a full set of these pictures. Thomas Hammond, born in 1984, is on the left. My mother, Callie Hammond, is in the middle. She eagerly voted for President-elect Barack Obama.
