Happy 4th!






















This fourth of July was like most others...going to a parade in Fairfax, VA....followed by one of our own. This years theme was olympic inspired from China "Pandamonium". We dressed in vintage clothing dung out of someones closet, inducted new members and crowned another grand marshall. Following the parade was a thunderstorm so my camera retired as to not get wet. We still ate although not as planned...under tents and trees and in the neighbors camper. After dinner the rain cleared up enough for a great fireworks display. Then Jon and I were off to celebrate our 10th anniversary with a little R&R in Hilton Head, SC. What a fantastic vacation spot!

Rain, Rain Go Away







May/June was particularly rainy here....I think we had a stretch of about a week when it didn't stop raining. After one really bad storm the sun came out and the streets were flooded. Emory and Chloe decided to make the best of it and splash around. What kid doesn't like puddles? The girls also had to check on Nanny's fish to make sure they weathered the storm without being flooded over the sides of the pond...they all survived just fine!
