It has been a busy summer for our family! We celebrated the fourth at Lincoln this year with Josh's family (almost ALL of them). It is always extra special to celebrate this holiday with family, but it was even more wonderful that the five us were together this year. Last year I spent the holiday at Riley, taping a small flag to Gabe's crib and watching the Indianapolis fireworks display from the top of the parking garage with the Hufty's and some of the nurses and their families. The boys were in Evansville with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Kaci and Aunt Brooke and Josh was working. This year, as we sat on a blanket beneath the stars and waited for the first burst of color and spark, Josh leaned over and commented "Better than last year, huh?". Amazingly I hadn't been thinking about the year before (I think I have made comparisons between this year and the last on a near daily basis) and that comment had the tears welling and then running down my cheeks. It was a definite role reversal as I am usually making those comments to Josh.
Despite some illness (mainly Justin and then Gabe) it was another great week at Lincoln. Everyone had a great time and arrived home safely, but exhausted. I am posting a slideshow of our time at Lincoln, which will summarize the week better than I could do in words. Josh and I couldn't be there for all of the festivities, so if anyone has some good pictures, I can always add them! It is a little lengthy, but enjoy if you have a few minutes.
