We were glad to have Michael and Claudia at our house for the 4th of July. It was great to see and hear the boys playing together, and lots of fun to meet and hold our newest nephew Benjamin. We had fun hanging out at the house, eating burritos, making t-shirts (the ones we are wearing in the picture :-), and holding our own "showers of sparks" fireworks display for the 4th.
They left this morning to go down and spend the week with my parents and Claudia's mother. They head west to Oregon next month for Michael's new position as Plant Manager of the Kingsford Charcoal plant out there, so it may be a while before we see them again. Hopefully we'll be able to use the Internet to keep up with each other...
