4th of July

We had a fun 4th of July this year. Unfortunately, we had to steer clear of the pool this year due to a bout of swimmer's ear Eli was fighting. Yep, we've been at the pool A LOT this summer, so much so that we literally got sick of it. But, really, what's better than spending all day every day at the pool in the summer? It sure makes for some good long naptimes!

This year, we actually stayed up to watch the Vulcan fireworks. They start at 9:00, so that was pretty impressive, and the kiddos did great. Eli started out saying "Uh oh, Mommy" every time one went off and then he changed to "Wow" for each one. Both M&E ended up in my arms for the show, so I got a little added work out in.






Brandon and I reminisced about how we watched the same fireworks show two years ago while sitting outside the Labor and Delivery wing of Brookwood Hospital eating popsicles with my big belly stuffed in a wheelchair praying for labor. My, two years sure did fly by!
