July 4th on July 10th

I'm a little late on getting the July 4th pictures up, but I've been trying to catch up period. Our church has a spectacular firework show every 4th of July, so we decided to take the whole family and let Hayden see her first fireworks! It took a week for her to catch up on her sleep, but it was well worth it.

This week has been a little overwhelming, but in all good. I had a friend pass away from cancer last Saturday and her funeral was Tuesday. RIP Bonnie Blue, always in my heart.

The boys had shots on Monday and it took several days to get over that. Hayden has been doing very well with potty-training, but has had a few accidents. They all seem to be settling into a schedule. Overall I'm so proud of my family. I'm now not quite as terrified of being at home alone with all three as I was at first. I'm still so grateful to have had a lot of help and support.

On my prayer list: the family of Bonnie and my best friend's mom, who just found out she has stage 2 breast cancer. I love you Mary and you'll pull through and do fine. Our God is an awesome God. The power of prayer is unlike any other.

Happy 10 weeks Ethan and Garrett!
