First Grandma Moving to White House
Rumored for months, and now official: Barack Obama's mother-in-law is moving in to the White House.
Marian Robinson, mom to Michelle Obama, will join the future First Family at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue later this month. As the New York Times reports, Mrs. Robinson's decision to move is, in many ways, "no real surprise." During the many months of campaigning, she helped to take care of Malia and Sasha and acted as a "family mainstay."
The first granny hasn't made up her mind as to whether or not she'll stay on permanently at the Obama's new household. She plans to figure all that out over the next few months. Mrs. Robinson has never lived outside of Chicago, so the move could be just as big an adjustment for her as it will be for the rest of the family.
So, all told, that makes five full-time residents at the world's most famous address. The only one we're still not sure about: that darn puppy.
