Good visit with Michael and Claudia

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...

Fun at Stone Mountain

Michael and Claudia were going to come to our house first, but due to travelling with a baby they were running behind their timeline. We met them at Stone Mountain with food and drink and spent the afternoon and evening on the lawn waiting for the lasershow. The boys had fun playing with their Ben 10 and Pokemon stuff and then tossing the football. We enjoyed getting to meet our newest nephew and catching up with Michael and Claudia. It will probably be a while before we see them again since they move to Oregon next month. Oh, well - hope you have a great 4th of July. Remember that when you see fireworks you are seeing what we Americans like to do for fun :-)
