Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th, everyone, and Happy Birthday to Nana!!

We celebrated by grilling with some friends at our house. Liam was thrilled when Miss Doreen, Uncle Sam, and their oldest (and Liam's favorite) daughter Theresa arrived-- and just kept saying, "Deen. Sammy. Teesa. EE-am's house!" Liam even asked Theresa to sit on his lap! What a flirt!



Liam loves him some corn on the cob:



He also loved sparklers! Miss Doreen stayed close by to make sure he didn't love them too much:



KoP shoots off their fireworks at the park right down the street, so we have a great view from the yard.



Liam had a blast (pun intended!) with those fireworks! This picture says it all!






Hearty cheering and clapping literally followed every. single. firework. It was pretty awesome. And somehow, little Joergen slept through it all! I couldn't believe it!


Now, you may be wondering what exactly Liam is sporting on his wrists. Well, those would obviously be his batting gloves. Which he fashioned on his own out of beer koozies. Creative little bugger, isn't he?


Here's a little video of our slugger getting batting practice in the basement (which is slightly under construction). Watch for his "slide" at the end, which he has added to his batting practice ever since seeing Daddy slide into home at a baseball game. He will often also add a pretend boo-boo on his leg from sliding...


Liam has also been into somersaults (especially on our bed, which is probably not the best idea!). Short video-- with a little bit of Joergen at the end:
