Independence Day 2008

2 new pictures because Brian noticed that in the one of us together, he was inadvertently flipping the bird...so here are 2 different ones.

We hosted 4th of July festivities at our house this year and had the Nealon crew over to celebrate. Everyone was able to make it except for Chris and Cari because Chris had a late baseball game. Anyway, I think everyone had a good time and we certainly enjoyed having everyone at our house. Brian spent all afternoon babysitting his ribs on the grill and we had quite a feast....and got to enjoy our new patio furniture too! The kitties joined us outside for a little while and Toonce got to dance....see video below. I know we are obnoxious...the kid is on the way. :)

Our new neighborhood is always looking for an excuse to have a party. So, in addition to our little gathering, there were big parties on each side of us too. Although I have no pictures of those, the fireworks presentations were beyond impressive for a neighborhood party! I am happy to report that the "Emerald City" fireworks that Mary brought added to the celebration just fine and we were able to hang with the big boys. ;) Fun times. (Just watch the first 20 seconds or so....it gets boring at the end, but I'm too lazy/not knowledgeable enough to edit.)

Grant loves to make Kitty dance, too. He also enjoys making her play the drums! Toonces and Kitty will have to have a dance party sometime. I love all the updates and check your website everyday. Keep 'em coming!
