We were so happy to see the arrival of July - not just because of the Fourth and family events, but because it meant June was history.
June was VBS and Children's Camp back-to-back and there wasn't a second of down time. Because I worked so much, I took the 5th-7th as comp days and we left town for the week.
My family always has small reunions on the weekend of the 4th - usually just involving a couple of big lunches. We made it to Jonesboro late Sunday evening and were able to go to one of the lunches on Monday.
There's a firework stand out at my uncle's air strip (which is where we have lunch) so Ben gets to stock up on various explosive devices as soon as we finish eating.
Watching a "Snake"
Luke wasn't too sure about the noise and smoke.
Throwing Pop Snap things...
Ben and Abby throwing poppers at each other's toes...
Monday night, waiting for fireworks
(note the matching outfits that Jenny made for the three of them).
A rare moment that evening, when all of them were sitting still.
This was how Ben spent the majority of the evening...
climbing over the third row seat in the Suburban.
Luke spent the majority of the week right here,
in Grammy's arms.
Quick moment of sweetness...
Precious cousins...
We didn't consume one bowl of homemade ice cream or single slice of Peach Cobbler - which is really rare for us. Not that we didn't eat plenty of fattening holiday food.
Stay tuned - more pics to come of our week with the fam.

Ok, Jenny made all three of those outfits in no time! What am I doing with my life? How did she do that??? They're adorable, by the way--as are the little ones modeling them.
