Happy 4th of July!!

I am posting this sitting next to the river watching the sun set and listening to Paul Revere and the Raiders. James is enjoying seeing the lights on the stage with Daddy, and all around us is a patch of mint so it smells amazing. Pretty soon the fireworks will start over the water... I can't wait!

It's been a very relaxing 4th. Eliot took care of James this morning so I could get some rest. Then we all hung out in the backyard in the hammock and Eliot BBQd some chicken. The weather was beautiful, slightly warm with a breeze.

What made this 4th doubly special is my mom retired today! We are so happy for her. Happy retirement mom!!

Here are some pics from today's festivities:
