Happy 4th of July

This year for 4th of July we celebrated together as a family after being apart for two weeks. We picked Matt up at the airport on July 3rd after being in Australia for 12 days. He took a nap and we headed to Anthem for fireworks. It was a great night and the fireworks spectacular, but the BEST part was being together as a family. After a month in Boston, it was so nice to be back together with our family. I LOVE us and our life!

Daddy brought the kids back some pretty cool souveniers. Derek got an authentic Australian Rules Football jersey. Rylie got a penguin from the Melbourne aquarium and a coloring book with pencils. Matt bought himself some local beer called Millennium Falcon. Matt bought me 2 lbs of local coffee beans. It is so good to have him home.
