This weekend was quite busy really. We went down to Salem to not only celebrate the 4th of July but also to celebrate Jeremy's parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Jeremy had to work part of friday so I spent that morning getting the car packed and ready so that way when he got home we could leave for our 5 hour drive down there. Rogue loves her visits but let me tell you what, she HATES sitting in her car seat for that long. She is however getting a lot better at it now than she used to. now she doesn't start fussing till about hour 4 when it used to be after hour 2. Since a couple of Jeremy's cousins from West Virginia were visiting his parents we stayed at my sister in law, Carmen's house. Which was awesome. Rogue got to constantly play with her cousins Calista and Cassidy. Calista is a little over a year older than her and Cassidy is just 6 months younger. It was great seeing Calista and Rogue chasing each other (cassidy is just crawling at this point) around their big back yard. They also have a play house which Rogue fell in love with. Sunday was warm enough that we set up a kiddy pool and the girls all had a blast, in fact Monday they went out and played in it again and I had to get Rogue out of the pool just to go home (she is such a water baby). As far as the anniversary, it went pretty smoothly. Mom wanted family pictures in a big way. We had an appointment to get them at 3 on saturday which was the actual date of their anniversary. Carmen and I ran around that morning and got all of us coordinating shirts and matching dresses and shoes for the girls as well as the cake, flowers and gifts. It was a little insane. we got back with an hour and a half to spare aka, get ourselves to stop sweating and do our hair and put makeup on....I should also tell you it was QUITE HOT that day! Our main concern obviously was how the girls were going to handle the pictures. Rogue was the only one that didn't get a nap but Cassidy was teething and quite unhappy due to it and there was so much excitement that even Calista was getting a little cranky. But over all really the pictures turned out better than expected. I would post them but I was asked not to just because they were wanting to surprise people with the pictures. Hopefully in a couple months when all dies down maybe I can post them.
We got back late last night, didn't really see any fireworks around here, we set off our own saturday night but since Jeremy had to go to work today and we were all pretty tired we didn't want to stay up and watch them. Heard a few bangs and booms though.
Well I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July!!
