Independence Day



We hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! We had a day full of fun - we went to some festivities in a park, had a BBQ, and of course watched some fireworks. The "Honey" had to work for most of the day, but we're sure glad he was didn't miss it all.

Grandma and Grandpa K. with J.

We played with sparklers while we waited for the fireworks to start and J. was VERY apprehensive. He didn't want anything to do with them. It was a bit funny :)

but finally we convinced him to hold one...for a second!


Our little family

I was watching a program on PBS the other day about North Korean refugees. It reminded me of how great our country really is - Sometimes I think I get caught up in the dishonesty of "Washington" and forget how blessed we really are. I'm so thankful that the Hubby has a job, we have a home, food, family, religion, and FREEDOM! And I'm especially thankful today for those who have and will sacrifice so much for our protection. Happy Independence Day!!

Looks like you guys had lots of fun. I can't believe how big the "baby" is getting. It makes me sad how fast kids grow. But, he sure is cute!
