4th of July

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays.

The week of the 4th is just a blast for us because its also the kids birthdays. Pierce was born on 7/5 and Cecily was born on 7/6, so its just a fun, fun week for us.

This year however, wasn't the best.

We were packing and moving everything out of the house during the week of the 4th and the kids b-days. The kids probably won't even remember it, because they don't skip a beat, but me however, it will bother me for years to come.

Why am I like that?

In fact, I was emotional about it all that week. moving is just hard in general but it was just worse for me. We are planning on doing a birthday party for the kids a few weeks after, but still, its not the same.

I remember growing up hating my summer birthday. Everyone is out of town, everyone is busy, it was just hard getting people together for something like that. Anyway, we still had a good time, took the kids to a parade, went swimming, went to dinner, stuff like that.

It was a day all about the kids, I love those kinds of days.
