Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 234th Birthday, America!! We had such a great extended holiday weekend. It started off a bit rocky, but we had a wonderful weekend full of fun with family and friends.


Steve took the day off Friday and we ventured to the Zoo. The boys absolutely loved it and I think riding on the choo choo train was Andrew's favorite part. We were able to see lots of animals and enjoy the nice weather. After the Zoo, we met Uncle Tom for lunch and visited their puppy, Baxter. Andrew smiles and laughs non-stop when he is around Baxter. He can't get enough of throwing toys for Baxter to fetch and all of the tricks Uncle Tom has Baxter do. Andrew's never-ending giggling is the cutest...you even have to remind him to breathe. After a fun-filled morning and mid-afternoon, it was time to say good-bye and get home for naps. While giving high-fives and packing up the car, Andrew and Baxter got tangled up and before we knew it, Andrew was on the ground. He hit his head on a paving stone and had a nice gash on his forehead. We were now off to an urgent care center for stitches. Andrew did great and got 4 stitches. The best part about it was Nathan just chilling out in the stroller like, "thank goodness it's not me getting medical attention for once." We finally got home after a LONG day and everyone was down for a nap :)


Saturday we spent the day at Grandma and Pops' swimming, playing and grilling. The boys enjoyed the day with all of their cousins and it was nice to relax and get some sun!!



Sunday we were off to another BBQ at my brother's house. My Aunt and Uncle were able to make it out and meet Nathan for the first time!! We forget that we really have only been out and about with Nathan for a couple months and there are still so many that still haven't even met him. It was great to hang out and catch up with everyone!!

Monday we finally stayed home and just took it easy. We went to our neighborhood pool for a bit in the afternoon and let the boys enjoy the water. We had a busy weekend, but had a great time doing a lot of activities and seeing everyone!!
