Born in the USA

Our fourth of July weekend....

This weekend I truly learned the meaning of being a mom. Everything we did I was not for Matt and me but for Lukas. I could not wait to see his every smile and reaction. During the parade he was frightened by the fire trucks but then watched in amazement. He had his first sucker and a freeze pop....what lucky kid! He was quite a hit with the little kids in the parade...I cant even tell you how much candy he got, lucky for me and Matt:) During the fireworks Lukas was very startled at first but quickly got over it...again, amazed. He did extremely well for not going to bed until 11 PM!.....but did NOT sleep in for us the next day:( Hope everyone had a HAPPY 4th!


Swinging at the park


First time down the big slide...with Daddy


Big boy swings


Swing, swing

Just learned to give kisses


Palatine parade

It was raining at little

Where does Lukas get those squinty eyes from?:)

Here come the firetrucks...


A little loud for Luke


There is the firetruck!


Loves his flag


Loves the freeze pop even more....


Loves the sucker most of all!


30 minutes later....still sucking on the dum dum...

At the fireworks with Melanie


A little nervous for how he will react...


Waiting

BOOM...very scared at first....


Then, mesmerized

This is the face he made with each big boom....


This picture makes me laugh:)

Fireworks


Way past his bedtime!

Daddy and fireworks
