Happy 4th of July!

Typically, Billy and I don't do much for July 4th. It was always just the 2 of us and everything around here is always so crowded. This year our friend Cara invited us to her Nana's home for a BBQ. Sometimes it is tough being thousands of miles from your family and Cara's family always makes us feel so welcome and like part of their family.

After lunch we all decided to cool off in the pool. This was Jacob's first time in a swimming pool. He really loved it. I was worried that he would not like the cold water in the big pool, but he cuddled up to me and it actually relaxed him so much he was starting to fall asleep.

Jacob is quite fond of McKenna. Though she is a much older woman, he has set his sights high. In the pictures below, you will see that he was able to steal a few smooches.

Thanks Cara and Todd, Nana and Papa, Pam and Larry for a great 4th of July!
