Well, the 4th of July went by in a rush of activity and an overload of fun. Phew.

It was hot, hot, hot in flyover country, but we braved the asphalt of the high school parking lot in our folding chairs and watched the fireworks which were “the best ever!” The wee babes by that time were pretty subdued and exhausted–after a Shania Twain dance party–and watched without complaint.

Cousin Tim and Abbie, who were a big hit with the wee babes (especially Lottie),

*”You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”– Galatians 5:13 (NIV)
