Keeping up with three boys has always been challenging. Now they are technologically ahead of me too...scary, since I always thought I was pretty tech-savvy working in IT. So I'm trying the blog thing. Seems like a good way to keep in touch with folks spread far and wide who might like a peek into our lives now and then. I'm all for the creative aspect but regular journaling scares me a bit. I plan to recruit some help! We'll see how it goes.
Today is the 4th of July. As seems to be more and more the case, Michael is off with friends at their lake house leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves. We will shop for fireworks, swim, and watch the Vittoria's fireworks extravaganza from the Richards driveway tonight...maybe make a blueberry pie too (that would be me, not we). Then tomorrow we'll go pick up Michael and tow the boat back to Abilene for some holiday fun with all the cousins at Nanny's house.
There are 16 cousins now on the Mayden side: Michael (16), Riley (14), Josh (almost 14), Logan (13), Nolan (11), Daniel (11), Cale (9), Anna (7), Quincy (7), Beth (5), Mitch (4), Nick (3), Macy (almost 3), Megan (2), Luke (1), Mark (almost 1 month). I'm sure I got somebody's age wrong but I think the order is right! They have a great time together but it is total CHAOS. We will miss having Bunka with us...he always enjoyed the fireworks as much or more than the kids.
We are grateful for our freedom more than ever this year, and for those who sacrificed for it. Happy 4th of July!
