4th festivities

The firetruck enters the neighborhood and leads the way for the parade
at 2 1/2 weeks, Joseph meets many neighbors

After the parade we enjoyed a neighborhood BBQ
(where Anna innocently brought me a can from a cooler to open for her... too bad I wouldn't let her drink the beer!)

Yup- Lady Liberty and all...

Then off to another BBQ with great friends.
Scott lights up the boys

while sissy, sarah, sydney and anna wait for their turn



Daddy supervises

Hannah pets baby joseph

Joseph and Makenna have had enough celebrating


Jimmy passes out sparklers as we wait for the real show to begin.

And finally, after 10:00 it is dark enough to watch the fireworks show!!!

Anna instinctively finds her way to holding "baby bruder".

James oooh's and ahhh's were enough to humor (or irritate) the random people near us.

I still dont understand why you wouldnt let Anna have a beer. She would have slept GREAT! BTW you are amazing. You've got this itty bitty baby and not only do you NOT hibernate at home (which is what I intend to do w/ this kid) but you take all of them to a million different fun activities! Kudos!

I feel guilty that it's been so long since I've read your blog. But it's always so fun to catch up! I love little Joseph already! Looks like you guys had a great 4th and I have no doubt that you're handling for kiddos with flying colors. Love you!

I guess I can't spell "four". "Four kiddos".
