Memorial Day

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life for something bigger than oneself." - Joseph Campbell

I am so thankful for the freedom my family and I are able to enjoy because of those who've fought, and are fighting, to defend our country.

We took the kids to the Liberty Memorial/Museum, a tribute to WWI veterans, in Kansas City this morning. It started out as a beautiful day and ended up beginning to rain, just as David put the burgers on the grill this afternoon. The kids and I were already in our swimsuits after running through the sprinkler, so we all just headed back outside and played in the rain for a bit.

A few rare shots of sisterly love...

 

 

Here they are teamed up together as Super Girls. The straw in Reese's mouth is supposed to be her "cigar". Wonder where she got that idea? (Ahem...David)

 

And, yes, the boy was with us today also. Tate got his first taste of corn on the cob tonight. As with most of his food, he took a few bites, then tossed it onto the floor below. Little things amuse 1 year olds. (Not so much their mothers.)
