Our Little Firecracker...............








We had a pretty quiet and relaxing 4th. The previous week-end we had spent in Lake Tahoe so we were ready to just chill. The kids enjoyed being home and hanging out with their friends. Our house was full of kids running in and out all week-end. We took Faith to see our towns fireworks while the boys decided to stay home and take care of our dogs, who are deathly afraid of fireworks. (That was their excuse for wanting to stay home and play video games:)
Today was our first day of swim lessons. We will be spending the next 2 weeks at the pool all morning. Faith is taking lessons, Reed is taking a diving class, and Dean is taking a Jr. life guard class. Of course each of their classes are at different times which will make for a very long 2 weeks! I'll be the Mom sitting in the shade with a good book watching my children intently.
Which reminds me, I need to get to the book store!

Love Faith's hat! Sounds like you had a good 4th! And now I am feeling guilty about forgetting to sign the kids up for swim lessons!
