Happy 4th of July!

I know it is the 8th, but Happy 4th of July anyway. The fourth is one of my favorite holidays. Americans celebrate life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, usually by doing one of my favorite things: getting together with a group of friends or family and having a sweet barbecue. The fireworks are enjoyable too.

Collin and Liana had their baby (Lillian) on Friday the sixth, which also happens to be Laurel's birthday--Happy Birthday! Lillian is healthy and beautiful. Collin has put up a great post giving more details, so I'll won't spoil anything else. Congratulations to the Kraus family.

A quick story. Gage fell asleep earlier than Reid tonight, and (*Mr. Furious voice*) that made Reid furious. He stood in his crib, gripping the sidebars and screaming at Gage to wake up, but Gage was out cold. This happens fairly often, and it usually makes Reid furious. It is really funny.
