I'm so excited that the boys are old enough to talk about the world nowadays. Today I reminded them that the fourth of July was coming (they're so excited!) and we had a great conversation about why we celebrate our country's freedom, and who fights to keep us safe and free, and how thankful we should be to live here in America.

So, Jake immediately wanted to decorate for the fourth of July...why not, we decorate for most other holidays around here. We pulled out some of the bike parade decorations and went to work, coming up with the beauty you see above. Well, anyway, it was beautiful to Jake, and that's beautiful to me.
