4th of July Festivities

We had a fun filled 4th of July weekend. Justin's parents were in town for the weekend for the 4th of July tournament. Justin and his dad got to play lots of golf and enjoy some quality time with each other. Pat and I enjoyed the social events that were part of the tournament- lunch, dinner and swimming. Thursday night Justin's parents treated us to a mouth watering steak dinner at Perini's. Lila and Laney were in town so we also got to enjoy spending time with them and they got to enjoy seeing Ava Kate. There is no shortage of hands to hold her when we are with family and especially when Lila and Laney are around. They love their newest baby cousin! Saturday morning our neighborhood had the second annual 4th of July parade so all the cousins got to participate in that. We did miss Keller though although I don't think he was missing us while he was having fun at Sea World! We spent Saturday afternoon at Becky's pool trying our best to stay cool. All weekend I kept thinking back to this time last year and how we were in the middle of our IVF cycle and wondering if it was going to work or not. I think for that reason the 4th of July weekend will always be a pretty special weekend to our family. It is hard to believe how much our life has changed in a year.
