So, I know the fourth was a long time ago, but I’m on maternity leave – its like vacation right? I just don’t seem to be getting all that much done besides hanging out with my kids…exactly what I’m supposed to be doing on this little break from work, right?

I wanted to share some pictures of us celebrating the fourth of july…

This photo was actually taken on the 3rd, for Waverly Childcare’s fourth of july children’s parade. I dressed up the first year i worked there because someone dared me to…now its tradition – going on three years. This year we thought it would be cute if Ellie dressed up too.

We celebrated the actual fourth with my sister and her family and my parents. It was the first time Aunt Laura and Uncle Ryan had met Evan…

This photo is the three grandkids together…isn’t my niece the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? I think my children are gorgeous of course, but look at those eyes…

We didn’t see a parade this year, but we did take in some fireworks. Like everything else, Evan slept through them. Ellie loved them – at first they were scary, but by the end she was telling Grandpa all about them.
