Fourth of July Weekend Fun

Though I didn't get any pictures, you were decked out in red, white and blue for the Fourth of July this year, just like your sisters.  Friday we took our first family trip to Alum Creek out on the boat.  You didn't like the bumpy waves very much, but once we anchored and started our picnic, you seemed to be much more content.  :)

On the Saturday the Fourth we had a quick visit from your Great Aunt Mart who so thoughtfully brought you a little welcome gift of homemade burp cloths.  From past experience, I know you can never have enough of these!  They are going straight into your nightstand drawer next to the glider where you and I will be spending lots of time together.

In the afternoon, Daddy grilled up a delicious dinner of hamburgers, brats and hotdogs while Mommy made the corn on the cob, red,white & blue fruit dish and a fun, firecracker popcorn dessert. 

We finished the day introducing your sisters to sparklers for the first time.  Ellie said that she will teach you how to hold them when you get old enough.  :)  So much we can't wait to share with you!
