Happy Red White and Blue Day

A friendly local realtor leaves flags in everyone's front yard on the 4th, so we had to take a comparison shot of the dude. It's amazing how fast time goes by. As of today, he's "all over the place" (just like everyone told us he would be). Just yesterday he was content sitting on a blanket all day playing with toys. What's up with that?

Another 4th was spent at the Bosch/Jansen cabin, which always provides for a great day of eating, hiking, game playing, wiffle ball, boccie ball, etc. There were about 35 people there this year, including 10 children running or crawling around. We're so grateful that we're included in the cabin festivities year after year! Tonight the "fun cul-de-sac" in our neighborhood invited us for a BBQ. Again, about 10 small children, but a great group of neighbors to hang out with. It's sure nice to be able to speak to them in English...our surrounding neighbors don't know a lick of anything but Russian. Just a random side note for ya.

Anyway, hope you had a great 4th weekend!
