I'm a bit behind on a post or two but I figure I should go ahead and write about our 4th of July first...
Vienna was pretty tired yesterday morning and so staying through an entire church service just wasn't working. I'm sure all you moms and dads out there know just what I'm talking about. Somehow she caught just enough sleep in the car on the way to church that then prevented her from easily falling back asleep once we arrived. Very curious for the first part of the service with all the instruments, singing and people, she lasted through about half and then we decided that it would be best to head home. Our church dedicated the 4th of July Sunday to an entire worship service filled with songs of praise to the Lord and prayers for our nation.
After lunch, we tried to take a nap but Vienna didn't sleep very long. It was still good to get a little rest and cuddle time in with my man :)
Vienna's daddy playing with her new toy blocks...
In the evening we got an invite to my parent's house for dinner, fireworks and games. Vienna enjoyed watching the fireworks that were being shot off from afar in a near by park but when it came down to doing our own in the front yard, she got scared to death! Poor baby. All the loud noise and sparks...she didn't know what was going on. Maybe next year she will enjoy the wild show more.
Sparklers were about all our little princess could handle...
After the fireworks we enjoy the most delicious homemade ice cream and brownies! Wow, what yummy goodness...the coconut ice cream was my favorite!
Little uncles feeding their favorite niece...no, she's not eating ice cream...
A few rounds of Catch Phrase and a round of Family Feud, finished off our fun evening. We got home at about 2 a.m. and were pretty dead tired. Poor Vince had to get up early and head out for a long day at work today. "His girls" here at home are missing him but praying that the Lord would bless the work of his hands with many sales on this busy day.
We are so thankful to live in the land of the free as we reflect on the places around the world that cannot boast of such freedom. May we never take for granted the blessing it is to live in America and the fruitful lives we lead here.
