Happy 4th of July!!!

July already? This year has really been going by fast! We had a great 4th of July. We went to a BBQ at a friends house; Gabe's brother Eddie and his wife, Alicia were also there with their baby, Iris. Iris is 4 months older than Effie. She is a doll! She does not stay still...she's a ball full of energy and she's a sweetie. We had a lot of fun. Effie slept through the fireworks...we couldn't believe it! She must have been so tired because it was really loud. I thought about my Dad a lot that day, wondering how he was spending his 4th of July way over there in Kuwait. I'm thankful for all of our soldiers that are serving our country! They give up so much to serve the way they do! I am proud of them all!!

Effie and Mommy...Happy 4th of July!
