4th of July

It's been a fun weekend and I am looking forward to another day to relax on Monday before heading off to work again. Stella has had a blast with all of her family celebrating her first 4th of July.

Saturday, we spent the day with all of the Turners for the annual cookout/reunion. There were lots of folks there including four babies that are brand new since last year's festivities. WOW! There were several other older babies and kids there, too. Stella had a great time playing with her cousins.

After church, we spent the rest of our Sunday at Nene and E's house. Aunt Sis, Granny, Granddaddy, Billy, & Evelyn were all there to eat great food and celebrate together. Our family loves holidays and it's so fun to have Stella to enjoy them with now. As my sister mentioned tonight, it seems like yesterday that we were sitting around on the 4th wondering what it would be like next year with a new baby. I wasn't very far along in my pregnancy last year, but we were all so excited. Now she is here and I can hardly believe how quickly the time passes! Thank goodness for this blog to help capture all of the fun memories.

All dressed up for the celebration thanks to Nene. I'm glad that she was able to wear it at least twice. It was too cute for one day only!



Then she got hot and we had to strip down to the bottoms only.



She discovered that Daddy's hair felt pretty cool today. She touched and played with it for a long time.



Aunt Sis read "Is Your Mamma a Llama" to her.
