4thy

Ah, the Fourth.
Tons of family.

(thanks to our rampant heritage, everyone in the background of this picture is also family: distant cousins and a great aunt and what not)

Tons of food.

Tons of fun.

It rained on us all through the fireworks which might have been a problem had we not been PINING for rain and PRAYING for rain and absolutely soaking up every drop.
On the down side, my husband somehow parked the car in such a way that I narrowly avoided death-by-cactus.

On the upside, I passed the 16 week mark with flying colors. Four months down already!
**Thanks be to my cousin, Lindy, for unselfishly sharing her abundance of pictures with me**
