July 4-Happy 4th of July

Today we decided to take Grandma Debbie to Elgin's Fourth of July parade. We met up with Kirsten, Logan and Nate and their family. It was nice for Reagan to watch Logan and see how he reacted to things; then she knew what to do. We knew that it would be hot and sticky and it sure was! (It was 93 when we left at 10:30) Reagan seemed to enjoy a few things, like the candy and when people clapped. Luckily, she was enjoying drinking the water out of our straws too!

I also had to go to work today, so that was not that exciting. My favorite part was when our Store Manager came in to say goodbye and said " Enjoy the fireworks tonight, Girls" and then I said "Yeah, I will.. In bed" MEANING, that I will be sleeping and not enjoying the fireworks, NOT making Fireworks in bed. He turned the corner and said "Oh really?". I turned bright red and said "Yeah, I didn't think that sounded right"! I was so embarrassed, especially since I don't really know him that well because he is a newer manager.

While I was at work Tony took Reagan to his Aunt's for a BBQ. He found out that not only is one cousin going to be having a baby, but two cousins are expecting! We are so excited. It's defiantly time for more babies. I don't want for Reagan to be too much older than everyone else!

Getting ready for the BBQ!



I always feel that the 4th of July is not complete without seeing Fireworks, but tonight we will only be hearing them and not seeing them. Reagan defiantly needs to be in bed by 7:30, because she has to go to the Baby sitter's tomorrow and I don't want for her to have to watch a cranky baby. Plus, poor Molly is pretty scared of all of the loud noises and I would hate to leave her all alone. So tonight, it looks like we will be enjoying the Ceaser Milan Marathon on Animal Planet with a mix of the Revolutionary War on the Military Channel. That's ok, there will be more 4th of July's! :-)

The good news for the week is that Molly did get on her antibiotics and I am not seeing any dripping! We (I) am also having to give her some wiping down (there) once a day in order to clean up her little area. (Tony felt that this was my responsibility, since I was a girl?) I hope that with this figured out that we can properly start potty training.
