The 4th

We had a nice 4th of July. We hung around the house in the morning, then after nap time, we went to my friend, Nicole's house for a BBQ. Lily enjoyed playing with Nicole's kiddos and even woke up this morning talking about "Miss Nicole's house". No fireworks last night for us as they are too late. However, David and I did see a few from our back deck.


Jack's teething has begun and a rolled up tortilla did the trick. However, I must get regular flour tortillas as the wheat ones fall apart too much. There was quite a protest when I took the tortilla away.....David likes to make Jack laugh by touching his feet to his cheeks. This reminds me of that painting by Edvard Munch "The Scream"




The morning of the 4th we had a picnic in our front yard....Lily helped water plants.



Before going to Nicole's, we had to wake up Lily from her nap. She took awhile coming down the stairs.




At Nicole's house...Jack found a new nap spot on Nicole's Aunt's shoulder....Lily enjoyed the ice cream cake...I think Nicole and Lily look alike in this picture. They have similar profiles. Perhaps Nicole and I are distant cousins?
