1st 4th.

Wednesday was Ada's first real holiday (I don't really think Memorial Day counts), and it just so happened that it was my favorite holiday:  Independence Day!  I love other holidays as well, but I really enjoy celebrating the 4th because it's so low-key.  There's no pressure to have things perfect.  This year that was especially true because it's just to hard to make big plans when the holiday falls in the middle of a work week.  So, with Aunt Lu in tow, we spent a little time at the Cheverly pool (please let us be members next summer!) and had an impromptu and very informal cookout and firework watching (on TV) at our house with some friends.  It was certainly seemed much less celebratory than Independence Days of the past, but then again, everything is more fun with Ada around :)
