Happy July 4th!

Lots has been happening around our house as I slowly come back from the isolation of recovery and healing. It is so good to be back. Everything has gone well except for bronchitis that knocked me for a few additional days. Just getting out of the house is such a happy occasion! Still slow as an old lady though.

I love July 4th! When I was growing up our church always had a July 4th patriotic breakfast outdoors. I crave it every year. It doesn't seem right if I'm not enjoying melon and pastries and grilled ham on the patio, but I haven't made it happen yet. I think my mom and dad probably attended a similar event this morning.

Braden and Andrew have spent tons of hours this week removing the old living room ceiling popcorn and re-texturing it. They are awesome! Adam celebrated his birthday a little earlier with a bunch of friends at Transformers 2 (they loved it). And baby grandchild is going to be a girl! I love her already.

We are off to bbq and swimming at Missy's tonight, then back home to set off fireworks. It's awesome that we can still have our own fireworks show. I got the big box ;)
