Happy Fourth!

Despite the terrible weather, we were still able to celebrate with family and

friends. The day started off visiting our good friends Maria and Brian and meeting their new baby girl Josie! Of course she was absolutely precious and made us that much more excited to finally have our baby in our arms. Congratulations Bozeman's!!

We continued on to the Blaze household where we enjoyed dinner and illegal fireworks in between rain showers thanks to the pyrotechnic skills of Andrew. (The baby was jumping like crazy from the noise!....Next year might bring tears.)

The U.S. History teacher in me cannot help but add this fact. July 4, 1776 is the day we celebrate our Independence from England. However, we did not actually GAIN it until after the American Revolution ended in 1781....for all of you who might need a refresher....can you tell I'm missing my job?
