hold still and smile!

trying to get everyone in one photo was harder than we thought. we squished together on the couch, but as you can see, not everyone was looking and smiling at the same time. :) but we had fun trying!

independence day

hello all...

we miss you!

we're sending out some more snap shots of our days. seeing them frozen like this makes everything seem so tranquil and controlled... heehee!

the kids enjoyed a full "fourth of july" day with daddy while i worked (see the bottle??) and then we had our own little bbq and camp-out that night after we walked to our local high school to see an incredible fireworks show. it was a very fun, busy day that ended at nearly midnight! of course, everyone woke up at 6am...so we were wiped out the next day!
