Jacob's First 4th!

We celebrated the 4th low-key at the house with a "beer can" chicken cook out and Costco fireworks! Ashley thought they were too loud, but Jacob was entranced-- he didn't even jump when the firecracker sounds went off (funny, in the picture below, he looks as if he's saying-- "so is this all?"). When Marc and I got everyone tucked in, just as we were drifitng off (which these days takes all of 60 seconds), we heard the crack of some distant fireworks. We opened our eyes to see a beautiful show from out bedroom window. It was as if someone was doing it just for us :)
