We had a wonderful 4th of July at the lake this year. This picture is at the end of the day so it is a little rough, but I am so proud of my patriotic family dressed in theme. I absolutely love the 4th of July and every year just keeps getting better. We had so much fun celebrating at the lake with all of my family, even Aunt Susan Jo, Uncle Mark, Meme and the boys. 
We look tired, because we had such a hard day. The adults had so much fun lounging on mom and dad's new megastation. It is the coolest thing, a ginormous float for 4 people complete with an area to cool of your body (the mesh in the middle lets you dip in as needed) and coolers and cup holders for your beverage of choice.
Avery chilled in his bouncy seat in the shade on the dock while we were in the megastation. I am telling you it was a busy, stressful day!July 7th also marked a big day in our family, I am no longer a stay at home mom. Hi ho Hi ho it was back to work I go. While I did have a melt down on Sunday because Avery had a very runny nose and was feeling quite pitiful. I managed to pull it back together and I can honestly say it wasn't so bad going back to work. I think I did okay at work, all the babies were still alive when I left, and I know Avery had a great day.
Sweet Aunt Linde came by and took some pictures to e-mail me to ensure that I knew Avery was having a good day. Uncle Blake also came by to check on Avery boy and give him a bottle, too. 
But the number one reason Avery had a great 2 days is Honey. She has been counting down the days to July 7th, since this day 15 weeks ago, so she could have her QT with our boy. I was so comfortable going back to work knowing Avery was in the hands of Michael's mom. She raised my favorite person, how could she not do a great job with Avery, too. A huge thanks to Linde, Blake and Rhonda for making sure Avery had a great first day with no mamma at home. I also have to say a big thanks to Amie, Melanie and the other girls at work for making my first day back go quickly and smoothly for all the right reasons.
Now we are headed back to the lake for more summer fun! Man I am glad Mom and Dad moved.
