July 4th

We had a fairly uneventful 4th celebration this year. We had planned to go down to our big fireworks celebration in town on Friday night, but decided against it since it was a little too hot for me (not to mention the crowd, yikes!). So then we thought we might drive just close enough to watch them, but not get in traffic. Well, we didn't do that either because Hayden was absolutely exhausted and wouldn't have made it until 9:30. So, needless to say, we didn't see any fireworks this year. We're pretty okay with that since we just saw fireworks at Stone Mountain in May.

Anyway, yesterday we met up with our good friends the Pilgrims at one of our neighborhood pools and feasted on pizza, ribs, chicken, cookies, and various other snacks. We stayed and swam for almost 4 hours, so we were all pretty worn out by the time we got home. The Pilgrims have twins, Emily and Ryan, and Ryan is Hayden's best friend. They absolutely love playing together. Miss Emily is just happy to be anywhere there is a pool! She would stay in all day if her parents would let her. I didn't get very many good pics, but here are three. (I really should have gotten pics of the kiddies together, but I'm just not thinking straight right now.) The first is Hayden and Ryan swimming side by side. The second is Hayden about to jump in and the third is Ryan mid-air. Hope everyone had a great 4th!

Only 2 more days until Livee joins our family!!!
