"4th of July Picnic"

On the 4th of July, Elijah and I went to a picnic in Astoria Park.  Elijah made fun of me for wearing our country's colors, but I told him that I was just preparing for motherhood.  Mothers are of course required to go all out for every holiday and celebrate every cheesy tradition!

This picnic was also a farewell for the Kolmetz family.  We are very sad that they are moving to Florida and taking the adorable Cooper Riley away from us. :(  Yes, we'll miss Mom and Dad too!

Stella recognizes a moment of silence in tribute to the U.S.A.  How patriotic!

Elijah and David always find a way to incorporate sports into every occasion!

does this mean you will be wearing reindeer sweaters at Christmas? If so, I think Philip has a few extras he can send for both you and Asher's daddy.
