Independence Day!

I guess it's time to catch up again... :)  I told Kristen last Sunday that we really ought to be able to update the blog once a week, but it's amazing how things come up and make it difficult to get accomplished.  Okay... I admit I didn't even think about it again until today, so here we are!

We're going to break up the last couple of weeks to get caught up, starting with the Fourth of July.

I was on call from the 3rd through the 6th and TOTALLY lucked out and was able to be home until the 6th.  Kristen took Abby swimming at Aunt Linda's in the afternoon and then we all went to Jon and Holly's for dinner and then swimming, followed by ice cream and fireworks.  It was a bit more tame than years past for me, but when the kiddos have to be asleep before it's even dark, the light displays are just not as intense...

We had tons of fun - it was nice to just be able to be together and celebrate our independence!
