"Our Daddy may have only had a third grade education, but he could read the King James Bible, " says Helen Ashe. He taught us three things: 1. There is but one race-- the human race. 2. There is but one Father--the Heavenly Father. 3. Never take the last piece of bread from the table. (Helen Ashe co-founder of the Love Kitchen)"

"You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. ." ~Erma Bombeck

Yeah for God and Country Day up at church!!!! Looks like you guys had a great time. Next year, I want to come up there for that celebration w/ y'all.

I was wondering if you had gotten home yet from your trip to your Mama's. Looks like you had a great time in the pool. Love the pictures below too.

I'm so glad I checked the blog tonight. :o) What a nice way to end my day.

Have you considered purchasing an Ergo carrier for your littlest one? They are great (much better than a Bjorn), don't hurt your back, and keep your baby super close. Plus, they work for a broad weight range. I don't sell them, but I do have one and I love it~;-) Just thought I'd suggest it since you said your little boy is high maintenance~:-) (I know how that is!!!)
