Independence

We celebrate our Independence today. We are grateful for our freedom! Today was the most low-key 4th of July we have ever had. No get togethers or BBQs, but some wonderful quality family time. We needed to do something as we hibernated inside away from the heat--so we cleaned! Who wants to come over?!?!?! Well really we are trying to continue to puppy proof our house. We are getting there!

Yesterday we picniced at Luke's sister's and bro-in-law's house for our neice, Nora's, 1st birthday party. They have this AWESOME kid roller coaster that Lachlan was diggin'. He went up and down their hill on it with a little assistance--Luke got quite the work out!

I love how this picture shows his joy! There is also a picture of our loverly Goddaughter, the birthday girl, smiling away.

I did celebrate the 4th by making a homemade blueberry pie with homemade crust. We ate on our deck and it was delicious!!!

At Mass today we heard the verse 'The harvest is plenty but the Laborers are few.' My sister, Emily, is in Australia, and this is just a good reminder to pray for her. St. Emily pray for us!

God bless America!

Be here now. Love ya, mean it! Time for bed...
