Independence Day






Happy 4th of July! We had quite the plan to enjoy our holiday by our brand new community pool, but a huge rain storm had other ideas for us. Instead, we had a low-key afternoon and then went to a yummy cook-out at my sister's in-laws house. Thankfully the rain stopped in time to have a really enjoyable evening. After dinner, we headed home to roast s'mores and watch fireworks, which we could see clearly from our front yard. We set off a few fireworks of our own, but were totally put to shame by the ones our neighbors had. Fun this year, but I'm not sure how much we'll appreciate the close-proximity booms with a sleeping baby at home in '09!

I was babysitting on the evening of the 3rd when the family's neighbors decided to begin celebrating early. The booms didn't disturb any of the three little ones so...we'll pray that Cash is a heavy sleeper!

Sounds like the weather cooperated with you. Fireworks from the front yard--sounds good to me! S'mores are wonderful--we have them when we camp. Nothing like a marshmallow roasted over an open fire pit till it is golden brown and getting gooey!! Yum-Yum! Lots of Love and Prayers!
