Impromptu Photo Shoot

Yesterday, Ethan requested to go see the Red Caboose in a town near our house. It was a nice cool day -- a great day for a photo shoot.

The boys' reactions when told this was a photo shoot:

Ethan loves to make silly faces (which makes a photo shoot all the more fun!).

The Red Caboose was nice diversion from the packing up our house and trying to figure out where we are going to live!

4th of July Fun

Whew! We have had a lot go on here in the last 10 days. We now have a contract on our house and will close on August 15th. We are still working a new house! I assure you, we won't be homeless! We spent some time washing and decorating our golf cart for the annual neighborhood 4th of July golf cart parade.

Ethan is testing out the decorations:

A great helper:

Ethan decided that decorating was too much work and he needed a break!

The boys getting ready for our test ride:

On the 4th of July at the Parade:

Benjamin all decked out (right down to the Uncle Sam Hat tattoo on his leg):

"Why do we have to smile again??"

Finally, ready to get the parade moving!

We hope that you had a wonderful 4th of July! We have started packing up the house -- it's hard to believe that in 5 weeks we have to have it all done!
