Happy 4th of July!

I can't believe it's already July before I know it we will be celebrating a new year. As many parents know a babies first year goes by entirely too fast. Sure they grow like weeds regardless but that first year zooms by you in a heartbeat. I am sitting here with a sleeping boy next to me and I am in awe  at how quickly 10 months have gone by. This time last year we were trying desperately to see the fireworks at Busch Gardens for the 4th. We got rained on but we still had a blast. This year we're in Japan and have an Eli in tow. We saw fireworks and ate some yummy burgers. Eli enjoyed some watermelon and Zack played with some new friends. It was a great 4th this year and we couldn't have asked for more in our lives.

Eli enjoyed watermelon. As of now this is his favorite thing to eat aside from breast milk.

The kids played hard and gave Steven a workout. Margot and Zack are like two peas in a pod and Eli just loves watching them.

 Zack is on the left on his first 4th of July. He was about 7 1/2 months old. Eli is on the right and he is 10 months old. They are complete opposites. Zack in awe over fireworks…Eli has no picture of watching fireworks because he doesn't like them. Zack  with his binky…Eli refuses binkies. Time sure does fly and I love them so much.

Ok I am going a little collage crazy here…sorry but here's our big boy Zack on all 4 of his 4th of Julys. From left to right 2009 7 months, 2010 1 year, 2011 2 years, 2012 3 years.

And here is Eli last year on 4th of July……

Hope you all have had a wonderful 4th of July and have enjoyed my picture explosion.
