Happy 4th!

We are so blessed to live in this country and we are especially thankful to live in Boston where we are reminded often of the sacrifices that were made for our freedom.  The 4th is always a favorite holiday of mine and we celebrated this year by swimming and grilling with friends.  Quinn was quite the trooper and was pleasant as can be despite the 90 degree plus temps and miserable humidity.  Carter was thrilled about swimming and eating hot dogs!  Everyone was worn out by dinner so we put the kiddos to bed and stayed in to watch the firework broadcast.  It was a successful day and lots of fun!!!

Carter to Quinn when she is crying: "I know, I know, I know, sissy.  I'm sorry sissy, I'm sorry."

Carter singing at the park while removing bark from the play tube: "Clean up, clean up, time for clean up!"

Carter after he does something on his own (yelling while running circles): "I did it! I did it! I did it!"

Carter leaving the kitchen: "Bye drink, bye blueberries, bye crackers, etc..."

Carter to mommy after his nap: "Hi Mommy, I'm Carter.  I'm back!"
