4th of July Weekend

Somehow this seemed like the year our family became old enough to properly celebrate the 4th of July. Ben (legally!) downloaded a fun mix of patriotic songs, which we've been indoctrinating our boys with all weekend. It served as lovely roadtrip music when we went here:

Portsmouth, NH

It was a perfectly lovely and very American town.

It was about 10 degrees too hot -- good excuse for messy ice cream! We did fireworks Sunday night, and then Monday morning . . .

. . . we joined all of these friends in the Hopkins' front yard for brunch and the Needham Parade!

It was quite patriotic.



the end.

Griff, I think you're getting prettier and prettier. I think you're probably the prettiest you've ever been. Your boys are going to grow up thinking their mom is the most beautiful person in the world.
