Happy Fourth of July!!!

And it truly is happy!! Thank you to all who have served to make this such a wonderful birthday for our country!!

It is also happy because I've had a huge weight off my shoulders. I feel like the last 2 weeks melted away thanks to a "hug" of sorts. It was an answer to prayer!! I'm very grateful.

Last night we celebrated the 4th early, and it felt so good to be happy about something for once. We went to a friend's b-day BBQ and a local town's fireworks display for the fourth, early. It was a fun evening. The fireworks were great, and Lovely cracked us all up by singing her own medley of much for the show (HAHA!). Here are some pictures from our evening (I know, I still owe you pics from vacation, etc.....SOON!)

These are from the B-day BBQ...



Here we were waiting for the town fireworks to start...


And the cutest thing of the night? Baby Valiant discovered the moon! Here she is waving to it....


And I love this one....really reaching for it!

"I love you to the moon......and back!"

It was a great night!! Now I'm about to go pack for the girls and I to take a beach trip this week! Daddy sadly stays here to work from home and work ON the home (nice vacation). But, we'll enjoy part of the week with my sister and her family (we're caravaning together) and part of the week with friends. I hope we just get some extra rest, relaxation, and more peace with the sand, sun, and surf.

God Bless! Much love! Stay Safe!
