I just love the Fourth of July. I love what it stands for; I love that so many people are united - celebrating the truly amazing blessing it is to live in this country. We usually spend Independence Day weekend down at Brandon's parent's house with his siblings, but being 39 weeks pregnant this year... we decided it was best to celebrate it at home.
We had a wonderful time going to the Roanoke festivities on Friday night with friends.
They had free train rides and bouncy houses and even snow cones! (Hence the blue smiles in the following picture...)
The fun was followed by some nice fireworks. Not too long and not too short for our 19 month old to handle. Yes, we kept her up to watch fireworks and, yes, I am glad we did.

The fireworks were accompanied by a band playing patriotic music that brought tears to my eyes. My favorite part was when we got to hear the national anthem before the fire works started. I always feel an overwhelming sense of pride, gratitude, and love when I hear those words.
On Saturday we were lucky to be able to join some friends for a wonderful BBQ. Kyla kept busy on the slip n slide and eating any chips she could get her hands on - which was way too many - she is amazingly resourceful when it comes to obtaining food... Good friends, good conversation, and good food - what more could you ask for? We had a wonderful weekend!

Thanks again for going with us. It was great spending the holiday with you guys.
Could you look any more gorgeous at 39 weeks?! Good luck in the next week. I hope Kash comes right when you are ready and that labor and delivery #2 go a whole lot smoother!!
You are so pretty! Good luck with your delivery! I was thinking when I saw that you updated your blog that you had already had him!! I can't wait to see what he looks like!
Looks like fun and you look great for 39 weeks pregnant! Good luck, we'll be thinking of you. I'm excited to see you next post!
I love your cute little family! Kyla is adorable, Sharee. So adorable.
Wait a sec, 39 weeks pregnant?? No wonder! I was wondering if he'd already been born and I was just behind on the times. I can't wait to see what this kiddo looks like! I'm assuming y'all picked out a name already?
PS- You look fabulous! :D
We missed you guys, but I'm so glad you had fun. Congrats on the new little guy. I must hear this birth story, Jason said you barely made it to the hospital!
