Family and Friends for the Fourth!








Long time friends from TN came to spend the weekend with us. Ty and Michelle were in the choir at Bellvue Baptist Church many years ago...Shawn and I came into the picture years later! We explained to Richard that mommy and daddy's friends Mrs. Michelle, Mr. Shawn, and Emma were coming to stay with us ~ he was seemed to be excited with that ~ he was totally confused when a different Emma than he was expecting came in, but he quickly discovered that she was a "cool" Emma as well...they had so much fun chasing each other, "destroying" his room within about ten minutes, and showing a bit of sibling love as they wrestled each other (they are only one month apart in age.) Mom and Dad came over and grilled out with us and we all had fun watching the kids play (although I think Shawn just about had a heart attack when Richard kissed his little girl good night - breathe Shawn breathe!) We got the kiddos bathed and ready for bed when fireworks in the neighborhood began going off so we went out to watch for a while and when they finished, Ty shot some for us as well. We even had a surprise visit from our former neighbor and her two little boys - she said that they were out looking for fireworks and just knew that Mr. Ty would be shooting them!!
