Fourth of July 2018

And just like that, the LAST big holiday before baby sister is here to celebrate with us has come & gone!  We had a jam-packed day, probably our busiest one ever, and it was definitely one of the best Fourth of July’s that we have had yet.

Wednesday morning, we headed out early to two parades, the second one was in our new neighborhood and we were so excited to celebrate with our new neighbors and to start a new tradition.  Our favorite part was the firetruck pulling out it’s hose for the kids to run through, they loved it and it totally felt like a Fourth of July moment out of a movie!  Afterwards we spent the afternoon at the pool, came home to change, then went to a friends house to cookout and on their boat for fireworks.  We made it home a little after eleven, I am 32 weeks pregnant tomorrow and am tired just reading all of that — but the excitement the girls had for all of it just made it so worth it.  As were riding on the boat late after the fireworks were done, both girls fell asleep on my lap while our littlest lady was kicking away and that was EVERYTHING.  So much has changed since this day one year ago, none of it we really expected or planned, and it still just overwhelms me with thankfulness.
