A happy 4th of July indeed. Doesn’t get much better celebrating Independence Day at the beach with…
Dependent #1 – Evan, who is slowly becoming more independent and even lost a tooth today just to prove it to us. I was able to convince him to take off a skull t-shirt and put on a blue one for the occasion though.
Dependent #2 – Ashlyn, who is the most independent 6 year old I know. What a beauty, huh?
and Dependent #3 – Drew, our 4 year old who talked our ear off during the fireworks. This boy doesn’t really stop talking really and though he looks super sweet in this picture…
he more often looks like this–some funny face or pirate face or something or other.

Dependent #4 – our newest American citizen who thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks.

Pretty precious 4th, huh? Tonight as I rocked Emma to sleep, I was just overcome with the freedom that she will (prayerfully) have in her life that she never would have had in China…
Happy 4th! (although now it’s the 5th…and I did most of my celebrating on the 2nd and 3rd…oh well)
SO cute- all of them! Looks like a great day!
Looks like fun!!! I like the “dependents” shots! Hehehe
Cute! Loved the little description of each of your little blessings :) Remind me a bit of my own ;)
Looks like everyone sure enjoyed the celebration!

Kelly, What a beautiful family. Everyone looks so happy! Glad you are enjoying your holiday! We had a great time this 4th, but our little one fell asleep before the fireworks!
Love the pics Kelly. What kind of camera do you use. I’m going to have to upgrade soon.

What a cute bunch of kids…looks like they really enjoyed all the festivities over the 4th!

Hapy LATE 4th! Your 4yr old sounds like ours….his lips don’t zip and he makes faces constantly…
