Sunday Snapshot: Independence Day 2010

7.5.10

A happy 4th of July indeed. Doesn’t get much better celebrating Independence Day at the beach with…
Dependent #1 – Evan, who is slowly becoming more independent and even lost a tooth today just to prove it to us. I was able to convince him to take off a skull t-shirt and put on a blue one for the occasion though. 
Dependent #2 – Ashlyn, who is the most independent 6 year old I know. What a beauty, huh?
and Dependent #3 – Drew, our 4 year old who talked our ear off during the fireworks. This boy doesn’t really stop talking really and though he looks super sweet in this picture…
he more often looks like this–some funny face or pirate face or something or other.
eating caramel popcorn from Fisher’s with Nanma and Grandaddy and marveling 
Dependent #4 – our newest American citizen who thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks. 

Ni Hao Y'all

    Pretty precious 4th, huh? Tonight as I rocked Emma to sleep, I was just overcome with the freedom that she will (prayerfully) have in her life that she never would have had in China…

    Happy 4th! (although now it’s the 5th…and I did most of my celebrating on the 2nd and 3rd…oh well)

    Hapy LATE 4th! Your 4yr old sounds like ours….his lips don’t zip and he makes faces constantly…

    Lydia looks dear, such a tiny thing!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
