Happy Independence Day!

We are spending the holiday weekend in Pittsburgh so that we can attend my grandmother's memorial service on Monday. It's nice to spend some time with Mom and Brandon, as well as my uncles/aunts and cousins.

Last night we took the girls to the fireworks. Moira got to stay asleep at the hotel with my cousin (a live-saving gesture on his part). There was no parking left at the park, so we ended up on some nice people's lawn (nice because they didn't kick us off). You know you're getting old when you wish the fireworks would only last 5 minutes...

It was still fun. Liliana was hilarious running around in circles, then she would stop suddenly when a firework would go off. She had only had a 20 minute and had been fed candy to soften her up towards Mom and Brandon, so she was hyper/crazy. Grace loved the fireworks until they got really loud, but was fine once she covered her ears.



Today is a family day over at my uncles and then tomorrow is the memorial. We'll drive home Tuesday. The good thing is that this time the hotel has a night staff and no one is puking- yet. Moira did have a blow out last night, though (but Kaylon got to clean up that one :D ).

I love that last picture of the 4 of you. I sure missed you guys- last year was SO fun! We'll keep our fingers crossed that you all get home in perfect health
