Embrace The Camera - Happy 4th of July

We had a really rough storm Monday morning and were without power for a few days... we are really appreciating our electricity right now... going without for two whole days during a hot summer is horrible.
We have been trying to get things back to normal...
So I decided this week I would share a few of my favorite photos from 4th of July.

4th of July this year was so much fun. Maddux was so into everything going on around us. He LOVED the parade and oohed and Ahhed at everything... having a blast. At the beginning of the fireworks he was holding on to me for dear life... once he figured out they were ok. he was too much of a big boy to sit with Mama and decided he would sit in his own chair... and enjoy them from there. (Maybe next year I'll get a cuddly boy during the fireworks...)

It's amazing to me how in the past few months he has become so much more aware of his surroundings... He is so much more involved... and makes holiday and events so amazing... even just sitting there watching him enjoy himself. Pure happiness....

and side note... Super Grover is amazing :)
