Happy 4th of July

We had a great 4th of July in our new home- a little rainy, but great! We skipped out on the parade because of rain, but went to the Wilmore Festival for lunch. We got 20 cent hot dogs, free watermelon and dessert- how can you beat that? Halle loved walking around, and of course tasting some of our ice cream! Then at night we had a dinner with Brian's entire doctorate class. It was a great chance to meet everyone and get a little more insight into this year. We were again reminded at how challenging it will be and really how much work Brian really has. So we're gearing up for him to read, read, and read some more!







Here's what Halle has been up to...

The red bow on top of Halle's head is ADORABLE!!!

Sounds like you had a great 4th. Was there a jazz band at the festival in Wilmore called The Metrognomes? My friend plays trumpet in that band. He's also "somebody" at the seminary - - - I just don't know what.

Me again - - - - I'd also LOVE it if you did a "virtual tour" of your apartment!!!!

Yes, Keetha, I'm going to get right on that! As far as the band, there was one, but I didn't get a chance to figure out who they were, what's his name again?

My friend's name is Dr. Milton Lowe.

I MISS YOU!!!!

You too Halle and Brian!!! I was driving down the bypass on my way home from church tonight and Greg is working and I thought - - - if ONLY Shannon was still there I could drop in. But alas - - - -
