Happy Independence Day!

And, Happy Five-Month Birthday, Catherine!

We had a great day and hope you did, too. First, we slept in late. (Catherine slept until 10:00, so the rest of us did, too!) Then we enjoyed some good play time. And tonight we went to a cook-out at the Sparrows where Catherine was a total hit. After much debate, we decided she was too young for fireworks or sparklers, but just you wait for next year...

Here we are on our way to the party--all decked out in our red, white, and blue.

And here is Catherine in her 5-month pictures. Next month I hope to re-post one picture from each "birthday" for comparison, so we can all see how much she has grown.
