Fourth of July weekend

Uhh, about five months ago we celebrated 4th of July weekend! How amazing to think that last 4th of July we were in China and had only had our precious girl for three days. We started our long weekend on the Thursday night by going down to the lake and enjoying the beach. David thinks this story is hilarious - after I came out of the lake, up onto the beach, I had water dripping from my bathing suit. Indigo shouts out, in front of everyone and the lifeguard - mommy is peeing! Isn't it wonderful when they are talking! On the 4th we had a lovely neighborhood parade and marched from one beach to another. Later that day, Rick, Ellen and Sarah came over for dinner. Unfortunately it was kind of rainy but the girls still had a blast playing inside together. We have fireworks in our neighborhood which are displayed over the lake and we sit and watch from our beach and so we went down there (with it being rainy) with umbrellas and the three of us huddled to watch the fireworks. Indigo really enjoyed them. We also enjoyed celebrating our friend Subir's 40th birthday party which was really fun. It was held at a minor league ball park and we all had a meal together and then watched a game. The 5th was also our 16 year wedding anniversary.
