Baby, You're a Firework!

Happy Fourth of July! 

We had an awesome time looking at fireworks.  While this was Max's second 4th of July....it was his first to actually see fireworks.  I was nervous about going for a couple reasons:

1. It was going to be WAY past his bedtime, and Max gets super grumpy when he gets overtired.
2. The fireworks would scare the tar out of him.

Neither of which really happened.  He did get tired, but he didn't throw any fits and once the fireworks started he was absolutely fine.  He LOVED watching them.  He would clap, say "yayyyy" and try to reach for them.  So sweet!

::Melted My Heart::

I am so grateful for the gifts of freedom, liberty, equality, and justice that we are able to enjoy every day.  So grateful.

How beautiful this land we love
We cherish all good people of

With pride we call this home our own
Oh how our seed of freedoms grown

American is what we are
Our time has nurtured us so far

For truth and justice we do strive
Our laws are meant to not deprive

We know we’re not the perfect place
As we are of the human race

In God we trust along our way
His goodness near, both night and day

So please do stop and pray awhile
Ask help in facing each new mile

And now I’ll end with words so clear
Concerning freedom we hold dear

Let Grateful Thought – Well Deep Inside
For Soldiers Brave – Our Country’s Pride
