For the 4th, we had a picnic for some of the young families at our church. We did the traditional cookout with hamburgers, blankets on the lawn, and the big hit....the slip and slide. Some of the fathers even took a turn or two!
The kids seemed to have a great time. Steven Edward loved hanging out with the older kids. Sam was virtually the perfect baby because he had so many people to watch and entertain him. Steven and i finished up our night sitting on our porch listening to the fireworks being set off at Lake Julian (less than 2 miles away). We couldn't see them through the trees, but they were beautiful in my imagination. Our neighbor also set off private fireworks in their yard at the same time so we did get the occasional glimpse!
New Sam facts -
*I did forget to mention in the last post that Sam has three teeth. The bizarre part is that they are all bottom teeth. He kept acting like he was teething, and I kept feeling on the top of his mouth....then one day out pops a new bottom tooth! What a weirdo!
*He also pulled up by himself yesterday for the first time. Way to go Sam. Now we're at a new level of child proofing our place. Yipee.
