Happy 4th of July

I didn’t quite make it through the whole family party when I attempted to live-blog it on Thursday. Here it is Saturday and I am still thinking about stories from that night I want to tell. In particular, tragic pet stories. But they will have to wait.

I also wanted to talk about how hard it is to get a decent picture of all the kids together.

Especially when your sister zips by on your daughter’s scooter. So distracting.

And when your son bites his nails. Why so anxious Milo? Actually he and Clementine seem to be more alike than I thought. Look back at the first pictures how they are striking the exact same pose.

And when babies crawl out of the frame.

But I have desserts to bake and laundry to fold (I swear I’m going to really fold it all today and put it away.) And a baby that needs lots of attention since she got her shots. Though she is sleeping better. But keep it quiet. If she hears I’m getting some sleep she may kick things up again.

Hope you have a happy 4th of July and have lots of stories to tell and pictures to share after all the fun.
