4th of July

Elijah and I went to our local 4Th of July Parade with our friend Alyson,her mother in law, and sister in law.
Curtis unfortunately was sick with a sinus infection. He and Nate hung out at home playing Wii and studying Greek. :] Elijah loved the vintage cars, fire trucks, ambulances and horses. He especially loved the fire engines! Elijah also enjoyed the collection of tiny pieces of wrapped simple carbs.. CANDY! The job of getting peoples attention and then finding it all was the best part of getting candy, at least for this year anyway! He also loved waving his American flag and sporting his Red Sox attire. I don't think he would have thought much of his clothes if it was for the comments from people as they went by in the parade "Love your shirt", "Great hat" or "Go Red Sox's." What was entertaining was the fact Alyson and family are native New Yorkers, yes from the heart of Yankee land. We put the love of our team aside for the love of friends and family in Christ. It was one of the best parade's since Elijah was born 3 years ago! Hopefully next 4th we will also see some fireworks!
