Happy 4th of July!

Last night, Mikel and I took Dunning over to the Fellowhip Village to see Nick and Angie. We had dinner with her parents and his parents. I was a little concerned that D would not be a happy boy because we had had our share of melt downs that day and it was really close to his bed time. BUT, he had TOO much fun. He ran around playing with his ball and walking around the parking lot and demonstrating his newest skill - jumping. Or at least attempting. It ends up looking like he's jerking himself upwards but can't quite get up off the ground. It puts the biggest smile on my face. He had chips and home made ice cream for dinner (he refused the hot dog!). Man, I am the best mom in the world! He loved the fireworks - even though it was several hours past his bed time when we left to go see them. He kept pointing sky ward and saying "whoa." Ah, the simple, pure pleasures of life.
