America's Birthday!


We had a wonderful Fourth of July celebration. We started off with a neighborhood parade and mini carnival. As we were driving there we told Soli that we were celebrating the 4th of July. She of course responded with "why?" so I explained it was America's birthday. When we arrived at the parade/carnival it must have looked just like a typical birthday party with balloons and lots of kids. Soli got real excited and said- "I can't wait to play with America she will be so excited that I am bringing my baby sister to her party!"

Later in the day we bought Soli a few firecrackers and then went over to a friends house to light them off. At first she was a little scared but then she got the hang of it and was having a blast! It was so fun to see the holiday through her eyes!

Daddy!


We are so happy that Tony is home from work! It has been great having both of us home as we transition into parenting two children. He has been a big help with Soli. She is doing great adjusting to being a big sister and is spending less time in her "Thinking Chair" aka time out. We are happy to have Daddy for most of July!
