A Happy 5th of July

Our 4th of July started well, but an upset tummy left R & me sidelined last night while the rest of the family enjoyed festivities (including fireworks.) Thankfully, everyone felt much better by midday today. After baths tonight we took in a few fireworks at dusk.

While the children lined up on our back stairs for Daddy's driveway display, I had my eyes (and camera lens) focused on them. It was a gorgeous display in its own right.



It was a little difficult to tell what K thought about the various fireworks. Will she ever come out of her shell?

Daddy did a great job...but this is what set my heart a flutter.
And the grand finale...
Seriously, I adore these people in a way I never understood was possible.

And for posterity, these laughs were from saying "bad egg" (a quote from a Max & Ruby episode that my children find hysterical.) Silly, silly children, I love you & your Daddy so much!

Gosh will K EVER come out of that shell? ;) We too got baths and got our jammies on before heading to watch fireworks. Just makes it a bit easier huh?
Happy Summer!
