4th of July

Dear Kate,

You celebrated your first of many fun 4th of Julys, and boy was it hot!!!  We started the day by swimming it up with our very nice and sharing neighbors, well, actually, we let you sleep and when you woke up from your nap, then you swam with us!  I was super pumped when I figured out that the monitor will pick up at their pool!!  So anyway, we swam a little bit and then got ready for Uncle Jaybee's swimming pool!  He set up the waterslide and put out the kiddy pool for you little fellas, but of course the older siblings had to get their share of little pool in, too.  Your sister was super friendly with you, but you didn't seem to mind.  I think you were just happy to be cooling off!  

And, clearly, you are teething :)  After a little swim, then a little dinner (including Mommy spilling your food all over the wall, curtains, table and floor!), you headed off to bed :)  I know, we didn't let you stay up for the fireworks.  Maybe next year.  Or the year after.  Heck, you may be scared like your sister, so we may never see fireworks again!!! Nonetheless, you had a great 4th of July with our closest friends and fam!  Did I mention your buddy Jake was there (and his fam!). So see, fireworks or not, fun times were made :)  Love you little firework!!!
