4th of July



I took our yearly 4th of July photos. Every year at Easter, I wonder if the weather will be too cold for their Easter outfits, I never thought I'd have that worry with 4th of July clothing. Well the unseasonably cool and damp air in Indiana (this week) actually had us with extra layers on. I also bought a very cute Red, White and Blue bow for Braelyn but she is losing all of her hair and her bows do not stay in anymore. She is getting so big and has an awesome personality. Braelyn will smile at anyone! I am amazed each day with the looks and vocals I get from her. Aedyn is also getting so much bigger and actually likes to eat! He has decided that he wants "long hair like Logan's". This is our niece's cousin. He has long curly hair. I continue to tell him that we will grow it out over the summer, but he has to let me wash and comb through it and his will never be CURLY. He is still okay with it.

After Abram talked religion with our son for 20 minutes the other night...Aedyn's questions continued to get deeper and deeper, he says that someday he wants to go to Heaven, still not sure why he just can't go there and come back tomorrow, but were getting there. :) We talked about why we celebrate the 4th of July. He looked like he kind of understood, well, for a four year old. He does know that we stand and face the flag with our hand on our heart when we hear the National Anthem, "because Uncle Heath fights to keep us free and protect us". I love our amazing God and the way He works through our little ones to keep us adults grounded.
