Hello Bloggie, nice to see ya...

Three weeks with no blogging. Wow! It has been an absolutely crazy and wonderful three weeks, though. Between Dan's birthday, 4th of July, and Nerve2Serve Week, I haven't had time to get any new pictures on here. But here are some great ones from 4th of July weekend.

Let's start with a few from Dan's birthday. It was so wonderful to hang out with a few of our best friends--even though I was a little "gimped up" with an incredibly swollen foot. No worries, though. Mariann and Lindsay took some great pictures for me!

Nothing beats a good eating close-up!

Then came July 4th. We hung out at the house most of the day, and then we went to the Red, White, and Blue on the Green Celebration in downtown Summerville. It was hot, but we had a great time! We ran into Andrew and Lindsay AND Ms. Debbie and Cassidy and Christina. I ate way too much sugary food, though, and we had to leave before I got really sick. Good thing, too, because it started drizzling right as I was getting in the car.

We ended the festive weekend with a family birthday party at Papoo and Gigi's (Emma has six grandparents--what a blessing--so we had to get creative with the names!). Colleen's birthday is three days after Dan's (or, as Dan points out, three years and 362 days before his), so we celebrated both of them with a few minutes in the pool. There was a nasty storm, so we didn't get much time to play in the water. Plus, it was pretty cold from all of the rainwater.

And nothing beats the sexiness of your husband in a Speed Racer shirt and a towel skirt. That's why I love him!
