We had the most A-M-A-Z-I-N-G 4th of July ever this year doing simply...nothing. We spent the day as a family enjoying each other's company in the baby pool, sprinkler and grilling out. We couldn't help but be thankful as our last 4th of July was spent watching an apnea monitor and feeling sick to our stomachs after just bringing home a baby we thought we had no idea how to take care of. But our God is SO good and here we are are a year later blessed beyond measure and this 4th of July was just a reminder of how blessed we truly are.
The boys spent the day splashing in the baby pool and Alexander ran around in the sprinkler most of the day too. Nothing brings my heart more joy than watching my boys giggle while playing together. I love to watch them play together..it's those moments during the day that I thank God for my babies, my boys, my miracles, my gifts.
After hours of water fun, we ate a slammin' dinner made by chef Dadda that all of us gobbled up in a matter of seconds. I was super excited to watch Camden gobble up Ant's homemade burgers, as it has been a struggle to get him to eat any table food but he was a fan for sure! Props to Dadda! ;) After dinner Alexander made his jello American flag, which wasn't the prettiest, but boy was he proud of himself! He loved every minute of it and ended up eating straight from the glass bowl. Camden loved the jello flag also, double success!
Ant and I ended the night side by side cuddled up on the couch watching fireworks on TV and hoping all the crazy people setting off local ones wouldn't wake are sleeping darlings. No we didn't do anything extravagant and no we didn't see any fun parade or crazy firework show...but our day was absolutely terrific and we enjoyed every moment of just being together celebrating our freedom. I hope everyone else had a wonderful 4th of July also. Our freedom is a true blessing...one never to be taken for granted! Special thanks to all who serve to provide such a huge gift, freedom. You truly are heroes!
