Happy 4th of July!

We spent the holiday weekend with family.
Much family.















Between a wedding and a family reunion we managed to see both sides of Hubby's extended family.  We balanced mingling with huge clusters of newly met family members in color-coded t-shirts with small intimate gatherings in grandma's apartment living room.  And sprinkled in and all around were the trappings of summer and celebration.















(I'm lovin Great-Aunt Joanne's sparkly purple polish!)


Hillary had to stay home and work (I think I could copy and paste this sentence into every blog I write lately), but Parker got to sit and listen to all the shared stories about the people he loves in a past he can only imagine.  He told me this is one of his favorite things to do.  And I have to admit...it's mine too.  Our stories are the strings that tie us together into a Family.  And connect the past...

to the future.




Of course we topped it all off with some fireworks!


























Happy 4th of July!
