Independence Week

OK. So, it's been over a month since our last post. Life has been so full, fun, exciting, and well, under construction (literally--our house has been under construction). However, I will catch up...beginning now.

Let's begin with Independence week. Derek's family traveled into town, and we spend most of our waking moments with them. We got little sleep, but we had such a good time.

Here are some picture highlights:

Our Fourth of July celebration began with a parade:
