4th of July

We had fun celebrating the 4th of July with Grandma Terri, Grandpa John, and Uncle Brian. We headed up to Harrisburg for their parade and found out they had kids games right after.
Brian and Grandma Terri killing time and having fun before the kids games started.

Jake and Julie each participated in the race for their age/gender in the Harrisburg kids games. Julie was more interested in saying hi to the starting line judge than actually finishing the race, but with Daddy's help she made it.
Jake was just super excited it was finally his time to race. I'm posting the video of his race that Grandma Terri took, despite the fact that it shows off my newly acquired double chin (you might want to turn your volume down, the scream/cheering noise level is pretty high). By the way, he had just finished eating a grape Popsicle and that's why his face/arms are "discolored."



We lit off fireworks right outside our house. Jake loved them, Julie was pretty scared at first, but by the end she was chasing after them.Sneaking in a picture of Grandpa John since he never lets us take them.

Hey, you guys. We actually live in Springfield. We were only in Roseburg for about a month before I got a job at Agnes Stewart Middle School just a few blocks from where we used to live. We moved back in August of last year. We should hook up some time.

Nice to hear from you.
