We had a great 4th of July and spent most of the day hanging around the Browns' pool and later cooked some burgers. Helen Grace had her second dip in the water (just her toes!), and this time she actually could somewhat fill out her adorable pink and white bikini. Progress! While her daddy was a little fussed about the girly roses on her swim suit, I thought she was pretty stinkin' cute. I somehow managed to survive wearing a bikini for the first time in almost a year, but I had the opposite problem from HG fitting into mine! We were worried about braving the crowd at the Olive Branch Park for the fireworks and weren't sure how Helen Grace would react to the noise, so we stayed at home on the couch and watched the New York fireworks on tv. They were absolutely amazing!
We really enjoyed a three day weekend together, almost caught up on our sleep, and even went to a movie (we loved "The Proposal"- so funny!). We are so grateful for all of the men and women who serve our country and have sacrificed so that we can have this freedom.
Our little pink firecracker!
She pitched a fit when her toes first hit the water.
And then she decided she might like it. I giggle every time I see this pic- looks like John's baptizing her. :)
John and HG were exhausted after a long day of lounging by the pool and cooking out!
