Happy 4th of July!

We had a very low-key 4th of July.  Jessica invited a friend over, Beth and Brooklyn came over to visit and my mom stopped by for dinner as well.  We grilled up some burgers and dogs and Hailey had a blast playing with her new best friend and cousin, Brooklyn.  Brooklyn is in town for a couple of weeks so we hope to see plenty of her over the next few days.  J and E leave for NY next Sunday so they have been enjoying their last few days here before 10 days away from home.  Rich and I will have an empty house for the first time in over a year! I'm sure it will be strange, but definitely a much needed break from the crazy schedules that come with teenagers.

We hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th of July!
