4th of July

Dear Henry,

Well, your first 4th of July, the day we celebrate the original English colonists deciding to separate from home country Great Britain based on numerous grievances colonists had stated in the Declaration of Independence................................... Oh wait! This is about you! Mommy will give you the history lesson later. What it means to us today is family, food, and fireworks...

I hate to tell ya that there were no fireworks. Your first 4th was a wash. No really! It rained and rained all day long. There was no Molkky and no swimming... you did get to play with your cousins JD, Kolsen and Nash at Grandma P's and Crappaw's.

We came back to Bloomington and went to hang out at Dave and Kate's. They were a little stressed out due to the bad weather trapping everyone at their party inside, until they saw you!
You breathed new life into the thing and we had a nice time with Kate and a couple of her former Pink Bloque friends from Chicago. People enjoyed watching you eat some sweet potatoes and snugglin' you with your jammies on.





I hope when you are more aware of things next year we will be able to see some fabulous fireworks!

Love,
Mama
