Happy Fourth of July!

Feeling a bit patriotic over here! Thank you to my husband who serves in the Air Force and sacrifices time with his children for our country!

Last night, we watched the fireworks put on by the Springfield Golf and Country Club. It was a great show - this was the first year that our sound-sensitive Hayden has been able to watch. They are always way too loud. But he must be growing up - he loved the lights (so did Katie) and was really brave. I love being here with my sisters so we can go do stuff like this together!






Our day was great - had some play time around the house, went to the pool in the afternoon, had a great BBQ with the family and sparklers to end the night. Of course, we had to add some Ulrich excitement to the evening so Katie decided to grab her sparkler after it burnt out on the way to the water bucket. She burned her thumb, pointer, and middle finger. She loves the Dora band-aids though, so that is good, but can not suck her usual thumb (but is trying out the other one). Not so good. The other one apparently tastes better. No pictures after the trauma, but we had a great time before!
