4th of July

As soon as I can get them off Jeff's computer, I'll post a few pics of July 4th. We had a great time...it was very hot as usual...but we had all the food & family you could wish for. There were a lot more little kids running around this 4th. It seems like each year there are more! Of course, this 4th was special because Dayton and Erin were visiting from Thailand. Grace has grown so much--she's almost 3--and this was the first time we'd seen Isaiah. I enjoyed walking Grace around as she played in the "dirt" (the sand they put on the beach at Dinkins' Mill) and went on a canoe ride. She was scared of the doggies and kept telling them "I am nice!" We also enjoyed little Isaiah...a very easygoing, "cool" dude. Jeff took a nap in the room with him and found out Isaiah likes to stand in his crib and talk to his pacifier! Ella was cute as always, even though she was a little tired from having her schedule disrupted. Even when she's upset, she's entertaining to watch...she can do so many mouth noises and funny expressions! The little guys all had fun splashing in the kiddy pool.

We had a good time catching up with relatives, playing the guitar and mandolin, hearing Chuck's version of Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again," and of course sampling everyone's favorite dishes! Kimberly and I took a spin on the inner tube pulled behind the boat, and the guys went fishing...Laurance caught a huge bass.

Pictures coming soon. Please add your own too. (Check out Laura's blog for some 4th pics!)
