4th of July Celebration

This was Parker's 1st - 4th of July celebration. We went to our adopted family's house for a cookout. Ms. Lynne, Melanie, Michelle and Ms. Millie are like our second family--they always include us in their activities. I really appreciate this since my family isn't close by. The relationship between Ms. Lynne and her girls, Melanie and Michelle, remind me of the relationship between me, my sister and my mom. It rained the whole day but fun was still had by all.

Ms. Lynne and Ava (Michelle's little girl). Ava is one and isn't much for having her photo taken.

This is my "All American Boy", ready to go to the cookout.

Nathan (Melanie and Michelle's brother) lovin' on Parker. He was knocked out, all the excitement put him to sleep, or maybe it was the FULL tummy.
