Happy 4th!

Jul 4, 2008
Post a comment

Our dear friends, the Akins, invited Gavin and me over to spend the Fourth with them and their family and classmates. It was great to get out of the house, and for Gavin to play with his best buddy Jackson. They played for a few hours and by the end of the afternoon, both were worn out. Gavin barely stayed awake for his bath, and was sound asleep within 2 minutes of being laid down. I'm stuffed from all the delicious food!! So I know I'll sleep well tonight too!

Gavin on the 4th

We finally got the much needed rain today, and I didn't get the grass mowed... oh well, maybe tomorrow it will dry out and it won't be a big dusty mess when I try to mow it. Tonight, I think I'm going to settle in with a cup of coffee and watch Night at the Museum that I borrowed from Elizabeth.

Gavin is going to be disappointed that Lauren (my niece) isn't coming tomorrow, but she's not feeling so great. So hopefully we'll get to see her next weekend, I think we're going to head out there to see them on Saturday. I'm going to run some errands and see if I find any great deals at the 4th sales.

It's pretty lonely without Andrew, poor guy, didn't even realize today was the holiday!! (They don't do holidays during Survival training!) No fireworks on base this year, but I'm sure we'll hear plenty later!! Thankfully, neither dog is bothered at all by the fireworks (or all the lightning/thunder we had earlier!)
