Some final photo's from our Fourth of July weekend:

My niece, Daria, sewed this quilt for our family and surprised us with it. It is absolutely beautiful and perfect for snuggling Elisabeth...as is evident in the picture above.







It was another first holiday for Elsa Lelise.
She pretty much thought the Fourth of July was fabulous!

It was a very busy, non-stop kind of weekend.
But, I think perhaps my favorite moment was this quiet little one...

...where I discovered my girls huddled around a story book as it was being told on the record player in the background. (Before you could download audiobooks, or buy books on CD or books on tape...there were books on record.)
God Bless
America.
