Land of the Free Because of the Brave!!!
Happy Fourth of July!!! I'm so thankful to live in this great country and thankful for the men and women who fight for our freedom and help others to achieve what we have.
We love you, Mike, and miss you. Three months down! Thanks for calling home on my birthday!
It's always great to talk to you. Stay safe. Love, Mom XO

Lake Day!!! My life-long friend, Dawn, invited me and the boys to go to the lake for the day on Tuesday. So, I packed a lunch, drinks, and treats and drove to the lake. It was so much fun, and a great way to spend a hot summer day. The water was warm just like I like it. All the boys (even little Sammy) went tubing on the "hot dog." It's nice to have friends that have a boat and invite you along. Thanks, Dawn! (That's not me in the background. It's my "niece," Kristina. I wish I looked that good! She was there with her two cute girls, Tacey and Summer, and her funny husband, Justin.)

The End! We had a great day on the lake...Thanks, Spier family, for inviting us!

Johnny's turn for braces...He's been in a lot of pain but is finally feeling better. He's our fourth set of braces in that office. I think by now we've at least bought them a new car.
