Happy Fourth of July!

It's the fourth of July!

Run, don't walk, to the pool!

Rachie took CC on a stroll at the fireworks festivities

Claudia missed the fireworks because they started late.

But here are some action shots

Happy fourth!

I love America. It truly is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Every Fourth I get that patriotic feeling in me, dress up in Red, White & Blue and station flags around the house. This year the Fourth was extra special because we got to spend the weekend with Rachie & Ryan who came down from Chicago on Friday. I have lots of pics from this weekend (coming soon!), but here are a few from the Fourth that I wanted to get up. We had a great day playing in the baby pool and then went to Freedom over Texas, a big concert with Pat Green and the largest landbased fireworks show in the country. God Bless America!

Also ... phase 2 of the backyard renovation is happening as we speak. I'm thrilled. Now, time to clean house while Claudia takes her nap!
