4th of July

So we went to the parade here in the Woodlands and had a great time. We walked about a mile from a park by us in what felt like 90% humidity. Other than that and the rain that came down on us at the end, we had a great time. The kids loved the marching bands and Ryan and I got a kick out of all the coupons and advertising that most of the "floats" were passing out. Nothing says America like a little good old-fashioned capitalism!

I got a new calling at church in the YW as the Mia Maids teacher. I am excited. From what I hear there is a great bunch of girls in this ward. It will be fun to meet new people as well after being in RS the last year. The kids are doing good. Brynn has a Dr. apt on Monday, so I am hoping they will be able to refer her or give us some answers or something as to her development. She is 20 months old and not walking or talking at all. Her "teacher"- a women that comes to our house from the Early Childhood Intervention program- has mentioned a few different conditions Brynn might have. I am hoping for some more definite answers next week.

Aden has his 4th birthday all planned out- never mind that it isn't for another 3 months! The theme has changed a few times in the past couple of weeks. At first it was going to be all T-Rex, then Spider Man and now of course Cars (after the movie). It has been moved in his mind from the park to the pool to our "new house" (his imagination) and finally to inside our car. I can just see 10 4 year olds jumping around our little compact car for two hours- should be fun. Aden sure keeps me laughing!

Ryan is good. He is still focusing on law school. I tried to get a picture of him at the parade, but he deleted it when I wasn't looking. That turkey, I'll have to get him while he is sleeping! Hope everyone had a good 4th of July!
