happy 4th!

Pretty much the only difference in today as compared to other days is we were all dressed in red, white and blue. Of course I am so happy for our freedom and what today represents. I have a father, a father-in-law and a brother who all served or are serving our country. Without them and the countless other men and women, we wouldn't have a freedom to celebrate. But with a 2 1/2 year old and a 3 1/2 month old we aren't quite ready to celebrate in the way most other Americans are celebrating tonight. Our kids are both in bed before the sun has even set. We are probably still at least another year (or two) away from staying up until dark and seeing those beautiful fireworks. But that's ok...just being at home with my sweets was celebrating enough.

Happy 4th of July!
