Happy belated fourth of July! John has been riding around the neighborhood with the top down in Bill's car. He loves it! Just a quick trip in the morning to the swings or over to the pool. He's so vocal now. I love to hear him babble away. No real words yet but he definitely knows what he's talking about. John slept through the massive fireworks display soundly. The lake puts on a show about one mile from the house and it is LOUD!! The finale had some huge explosions--the sound was low and rumbling. And of course there are assorted fircrackers and bottle rockets from the neighbors.
We had a nice weekend with a trip to the pool and to to the Bancroft paddle pool. We cooked out some brats for the fourth and had a nice family day.

Sorting cups-one of John's favorite activities-this is serious work!
