Last weekend we went to this great small town celebration. They had a parade, jumper zone, funnel cakes, live music, firetrucks, horses, FIreWorKs, etc, etc, etc. . . it was wonderful! We had a great time!

This weekend we are going to our new town’s 4th of July celebration, then to my parents for a BBQ, tot swimming and FirEwOrkS!!!

When we were waiting to start our family, this holiday was one of the toughest. Last weekend, as I sat in a lawnchair with Eliza sleeping in her carrier on my belly, I teared up as I watched Jadon cuddled up with Josh on our blanket, amazed at the firework display.

There’s just something about kids covered in facepaint and flag tatoos, swinging light sticks, exhausted from playing out doors, wideeyed while they wait for it to get dark, smelling fireworks beginning in the air that makes it one of my favorite days of the year!

I LOVE this holiday!!!
