Happy 4th!

Our neighborhood had a fun little July 4th parade yesterday morning.  People got all dressed up, there were snacks and drinks, and we got to meet more lovely people from our neighborhood.  Some highlights: Poesy finding a sprinkler along the way and Hope looking like the Independence Day fairy.  I love how much she loves holidays.

After the parade Johnny's folks came to town and we spent the rest of the day at a baseball game and watching fireworks.  It was a really great day with perfect weather.  You really can't even ask for more!

I also wanted to thank everyone who commented and sent emails regarding my grandma.  It's true that saying goodbye is a part of life, but it's also true that it isn't easy.  I really appreciate all of thoughtful messages.  She is definitely going to be missed.

  9. I love hope's outfit, I thought maybe she was in a play or parade or something like that but just wearing it all on her own is amazing! I love it.
