The 4th

We invited our family and neighbors over for a little celebration on the 4th.  We had a great time even though it was somewhere around 100 degrees.  Paul bought a lot of fireworks and put on a great show!  Ruby takes after both her parents and LOVED the fireworks.  She kept signing "more!"  We were also invited to a party at one of Paul's co-workers homes the weekend after the 4th.  Ruby had a ball at this party as well, making new friends and running all around.  Unfortunately, the fireworks weren't even half over and the cops put a stop to the remainder of the show because of a complaint from a neighbor.  Oops!  I guess we'll have to have a New Year's Eve party with the leftover fireworks!

A week after the 4th, Hattie's boyfriend, Brandon, came to visit from Portland.  They stayed with us for a couple nights and Ruby gained a new BFF.  :)
