Happy 4^th of July from our family to yours! We plan to cook cheeseburgers and hot dogs on the grill for dinner and I am looking forward to it.

A few days ago, we spent around $75 on some fireworks, which we have never done before, but we wanted to go in with Andrew and Christina so there would be more of a “show”. Believe it or not, $75 doesn’t buy much at the fireworks stand. I try not to think of the fact that we are literally burning the money, much like you do when you buy candles. So, tonight when it gets dark, Andrew will give us a show in his backyard. It is all for the kids and I know they enjoy it. Gavin’s birthday was on the 2^nd, so we always tell him that everyone is letting off fireworks for his big day.
