I love my country. I love patriotism. And I love that on one day of the year it's totally acceptable for everyone to be wearing some form of red, white and blue. Also I love that it is slightly less unacceptable than any of the other 364 days to wear life-size american flags posing as shirts.
What a great way to celebrate our independence!

We had a slightly rainy and chilly but ultimately by the end of it, beautiful Fourth of July weekend!
My 97th percentile 15 month old has surpassed the whole "Knee High by the Fourth of July" thing.
(I know I know... they are referring to corn)
Patriotic holiday weekends mean a lot of things for us, not the least of which is lots of reds, whites and blues!
Definitely one of my favorite color palettes even on non-patriotic holidays.
Saturday we pretty much just sat around and wondered where our hot, sunny, July weather was.
But it returned on Sunday, so we stopped wondering and started enjoying! Grilling.Swimming.Back-porch-sitting.
And thankfully it is totally acceptable to continue the Red, White and Blue trend into July 5th.
Lucy's new favorite word is "Up" and this weekend she was hitting it hard!
Which made this view pretty much a constant.
Mom confession: sometimes I put her down against her little will just to get to hear her say it again!
hashtag adorable. hashtag cruel mom.
She hits the "p" really hard so it's just the cutest. Ya have to believe me!

Graham-cracker smears on our pretty church dress means we switch to red, white and gold.
Another favorite color palette around here.
Do you find Sundays to be hard for your little ones? It's one of the hardest days for us since Lu misses that morning nap and lunch is always later than normal!
One of those rough moments:
(She's so cute! Can you blame me!?)
Summers at Greg's parents are super sweet!
It's a summer-lover's paradise: there's always something grilling, the pool's always open and the atmosphere demands relaxation.
If I must!
And this Fourth there was lots of loving on our firecracker of a 15 month old.
She has really made sweet gatherings even sweeter!

Lucy also said a new word this weekend!
SHOES!
Oh she just loves her new word!
However there has been some confusion with Lucy having learned this new word AND having had quite the runny nose...
"Lucy, do you need a tissue?"
She brings me her shoe.
Ohh right. I get it.
K. Thanks

Once again, it was another beautiful weekend with family and getting to experience the holiday anew with our sweet toddler!
From our family to yours,
Happy Independence Day!
