Sweet Land Of Liberty

in Celebrate Good Times,You Capture

July 4th held a little more significance for me this year.

My sweet hubby, McDaddy is currently serving our great country.

My 4th of July was spent with these sweet fellas at an Independence Day Parade,

picking up 13,512 pieces of candy,

watching the bands,

having fun,

posing for daddy in front of heaps (ahem! I mean jeeps),

eating suckers,

and smiling at mommy!

As we watched the parade, one of our Air National Guard planes did a fly over not once,

but twice,

So yes, July 4th was pretty special for us!

McDaddy, we miss you, we love you, we’re proud of you and we can’t wait until you are back at home with us!

Thank you to him and you for what he does and your sacrifices so that he can do it. Our sons are also Majors but in the Army so we feel a kinship with you. We’ll be praying for his safe return.
