Memorial Day... and other fun!

It has become something of a tradition in our family over the past few years to attend the annual Memorial Day Parade in Sewickley.  The kids get all decked out in their red, white and blue, eager to stake our their place on the curb to watch the stream of fire trucks, soldiers in uniform, marching bands and kilt clad bag pipers moving past.  It's always a good time!

Last year the babe was in the belly...

 What a difference a year makes!

He had a much better vantage point this year!  James was positively gleeful watching the fire trucks go by and he especially enjoyed the unicycles and the sweet dogs from the Humane Society.  It was so much fun to share this tradition with him!  He posed for a photo with Chloe...

Later we went to my sisters to help her plant her flowers.  He sat on a blanket in her front yard and played with his toys for two hours.  He is the sweetest little guy.  I am truly blessed!

This week has been a scorcher and we have all been doing our best to keep cool.  While I have been busy scurrying around planting flowers and trying to keep them watered... James has been chilling in his new pool.  This was five bucks well spent!

These are the joys that fill my days and my heart to overflowing.  Summer... here we come!
