Happy 4th of July (a little late)! What a blessing it is to live in a free country, a beautiful state, a neighborhood right next to my family and in a cute little house with Jack & John! So much to be thankful for!
Here are some pictures of our 2nd-4th of July celebrations!
Meet Sophie! She’s a little girl at our church that just LOVES Jack (her and her two older sisters)! Our church has a big 3rd of July party with fireworks, water games, bounce houses, etc! It was a lot of fun! Sophie stays right by Jack at all times! She’s a year older…maybe Jack will like older women! HA! Sophie comes from a wonderful family – one of many at the church – we are so blessed by many people that love Jack…and he loves them all back with that constant sweet smile!
Jack watched the fireworks on my lap in awe, never cried or was scared! Maybe it was the twice daily fireworks that he heard in my tummy while in China…he finally got to enjoy how pretty they are instead of just how loud they are!
My dad’s birthday is the 2nd of July so we all went to my sister’s to swim – taking a group shot with three little ones is near impossible….Jack was WAY more fascinated by his cousin’s long wet hair!
4th of July – Jack wearing the outfit that Pop & Gran sent from Texas! So festive!
I may have more pictures on my camera but I’ll post these for now! Love to you all!
You know, in four years John has never stopped amazing me! All the ways would be a long list but the most recent on the list is that he built a fence behind our house! He dug the footings, poured the concrete, put up the frame and then all the planks…even a fence gate! All this AND in 100+ degree heat! So…now the back of our house is all safe for Jack to roam free!
Here are some pictures of our cool new fence…we back up to an alley so this will keep our backyard safe! YAY!
AND…Jack has learned to drink from a straw (his first success was a chocolate milk shake from In ‘n Out) so we’re graduating from bottles to cups (no sippie cups) and he also feeds himself now (stuff that can be finger foods of course)! And…he looks super cute when taking a bubble bath! These are fun times!
All for now! Lots of love!
