Happy Independence Day!

I always love the 4th of July. We have so much to celebrate! It was a rough night at our house (not quite filled with sleep), so we got off to a bit of a late start. We were still able to make it to the parade though.

Emmett's excited to see his first parade!


















Having fun with daddy














I suppose if I have to be in a picture too, at least I'm overshadowed by this cute man!














So much to see!














The parade wore poor Emmett out, and he's been napping ever since. Next on the agenda is a picnic at the park with Josh's family, and then we might brave the fireworks - with ear protection for Emmett of course!

In other news, our house is finally completely repaired after that wind storm in December. We have a new fence on two sides of the yard - much nicer than the previous fence for sure - a new roof, and a newly patched carport roof. Hooray! On the downside, our neighbor (whom we share a wall with) decided to replace her siding and chose a color that doesn't match at all. We now have a two-toned house, and it looks completely ridiculous. Sigh. Oh well. Maybe someday we'll be able to afford new siding as well. For now, I'm just happy to have a fence for my dogs and a roof that won't blow away at every gust of wind!

  1. Looks like a fun 4th! I love Little E's stripes, so patriotic! And great news on your house! Now that notorious neighbor of yours on the other hand...what a pain!
