Backtracking

Ok, so the next few posts might not be in order but at least they are done-I never want to have to do that much catching up again!

Happy 4th of July

So I know that I am WAY behind on posting but I figured it would be better to do a current post and then backtrack! I hope everyone had a good 4th we had a great weekend ourselves! Our good friends the McBrides came into town so we spent the weekend playing with them! Peter especially loved following Cole all over our house...but I will tell more on the visit later.

On Saturday we went to the Arch to watch thre fireworks that they shoot off from the Mississippi River. It was quite crowded but worth it to me, it was a great show! Even though we were up late and it was warm...the kiddos did great!

Here is Tessa cute as ever!Cole with Maren, giving us the serious face!

And Peter, who really liked his flag-he alternated between waving and trying to eat it!

The gang, minus Alan who was taking the picture but you have lots of shots of his legs while he is holding Peter....

I wasn't sure how Peter would do with the loud fireworks especially since they were so close but he loved them, he was totally mesmorized. I was actually holding him first and halfway through transfered him to Alan and I don't think he even realized it. He only cried when it was over!

Mia is back, enough said!

Summer is Here!

I was watering our garden this evening and guess what started popping out of the grass? Yep, the fireflies are here! Everytime I see a firefly I am taken back to my childhood, summer isn't complete without them. Welcome summer!
