Independence Day 2010

Here you are getting out on the 4th of July. Joey's still in shock, as it is quite a bit hotter outside than it was in the garage. For you, rubbing your eyes is a mere comforting mechanism.

We passed Mr. George's friends along the way. They said, "George is l-a-t-e late!" when we asked for him.

This is you, my little prince, waving at your favorite thing in the whole world--the camera. No, I know, I know, you're not waving at me--hehehe.

Did I mention that you have a certain infatuation with the camera that makes it difficult for me to take pictures of you from a good distance and also of other stimuli?

And here we have Joey flirting with the pretty lady who was first flirting with him.

Pretty cool how Joey can handle a drink that's half his size, eh! It was really hot today. The weather here has been lovely all spring and summer with few bugs and relatively low humidity. Hot indeed but your old lady's muscles feel a little better in the heat! Maybe I'll be able to be a good mommy for you if this keeps up!

This is the tiny fair in our town. People were beginning to get their blankets out for fireworks when we got there about 530. You and Joey don't much like them, so we are going to watch them from your bedroom. Last month, you guys were afraid of 'em. We'll see what happens tonight!

This is you enjoying a swing. Joey was too scared to go. But not you; you love it!

And here you are in the shade.

I never get tired of looking at you.
