Happy 4th of July! Isn't it great to be an American and live in our wonderful country! And thank you to all the soldiers who work hard to protect our freedom!! And thank you, Lord, for blessing and protecting our country!
Well, we were scheduled to have special guests this weekend. Cousins Mason and Ella Kate, along with Aunt Ra Ra (Robin) and Kahki, my mother-in-law, were scheduled to arrive for a weekend of fun. I don't blame them for staying away after the hum-dinger of a week we had. So, we hope to make our fun weekend happen in a few weeks.
Plan B was still a lot of fun. We went to Aunt Deeeeees' house (my sister) for some family fun. It was great though we did miss my oldest nephew (who just happened to start West Point, or "The West Point" as Jon David says, last week). Yes, I am a very proud aunt! Considering I was having pre-term labor at 30 weeks pregnant and on bedrest last year at this time, 4th of July 2008 was a big improvement!
Aaron and Isaac, two of my nephews, amaze me that they enjoy playing so much with my children. I mean, they could be doing a lot of other things but they get a kick out of playing hide & seek with Jon Jon and carrying Josiah around. It's cute to hear Jon Jon as he counts to 10 and then starts looking. He says, "Ready or nine, here I come!"
Sweet Aaron even let Jon David strum a bit on his fancy new guitar. What a nice guy!
Perhaps one of the best parts of the day was bringing over my hamburger cake. I was SO proud of this silly dessert (yellow cake, brownie, a little chocolate frosting, kiwi and strawberries). It made me giggle every time I looked at it. :)
