Where has the time gone??

It's hard to believe that we are getting ready for the Fourth of July. Madison is practicing with the color guard this week in preparation for their parade debut. The camera is emptied of pictures and the battery is charging.

Today is the beginning of a four day weekend for me and the kiddos. Ben is working today but will be free from work starting tomorrow. Today we are working furiously to get the house in order so that we won't have to "work" for the rest of the weekend.

The weekend will consist of watching movies, going to a concert with fireworks, swimming, and grilling. I have two July 4th albums and I want to fill them both with pictures of this fabulous holiday. I don't know why it's one of my favorite times of the year, but I love it. We will put out all of our flags this afternoon and then rest until dinner time. It's way too hot to have the kids out for any amount of time.

In about two weeks, my baby will be two years old. How did this happen?? I can remember his first birthday and it seems like we just had his party. He's walking and talking, riding his tricycle, and colors on everything. I really can't believe it. Time moves faster the older that I get.

Facebook has been interesting. I have found old friends and some not so much of a friends. Most of my family is on there, so you get the good and the bad. :) You can look me up and keep up to date by the minute, if you so choose.

I will do a picture post at the end of the weekend.

Enjoy your Independence and don't forget that it was because of a handful of people who saw that our country was great, and that it should be ours alone to govern. Not many people have the opportunities and freedoms that we sometimes take for granted.
