Twelve in 2014 - July

I am super late with my July photos.  July has been a chaotic and bittersweet month. We're coming into the last turn of the house hunt race, which has been unbelievably stressful. There was a family medical issue that gave us quite a scare. Then to top it off, Joey (aka Buddy, Bud) has been in Georgia visiting his father and other family for the summer.

All good things, come to an end...

I say that because last week started my 6 day staycation. We celebrated the 4th the way it should be... sunny weather, with family, water fights, burgers on the grill, fireworks, drinks, and cards. Although it took us (the parents) most of July 5th to recover, it was a blast!

4th of July

 

This was the best 4th of July we've had in a long time! We spent it at my parents house with water gun fights, to burgers for dinner, and making milkshakes for dessert. Then on to the main event of Fireworks!! Followed by a game of rummy, drinks and then bedtime (which was really, really early... the next morning!).
