Independence Day

The title of this blog has double meaning. While we celebrated our country's independence this past weekend, we also saw our little girl gaining more independence by CRAWLING for the first time! Are we ready? I guess we have no choice! As of today, Macy will crawl about 4 or 5 "knees" forward. She is so fun to watch, and will probably be trying to keep up with her cousins when we go home to Texas next week! (Thanks for the little dress Johneen!)On July 4th we celebrated with our good friends Johneen & John. Johneen made an awesome cake & star-shaped cookies. Charlie grilled ribs & smoked a Boston butt in the Green Egg. Mmmm... Once it was dark & Macy was in bed sleeping, we sat on the back porch & watched the fireworks they put on each year in the field by our subdivision. Such a great night. Although Charlie & I often feel disappointment over the direction this country seems to be heading since the last election, this was a night to remember how blessed we are and to feel pride in our country's past. We still have hope for the future! May God Bless America!!
