Fourth of July weekend

Friday we went to Zachary's parents house to grill out and play some bat-mitten to get the holiday weekend started! Tegan enjoyed the day outside playing under the shade tree and taking in the fresh air. After taking tons of pictures of Tegan with grandma Dee's flowers we learned that Tegan has a horrible allergy to pollen. When She awoke from her nap she could hardly breath through her little nose. Our poor little girl was so stuffy by the end of the night! There is nothing more heart breaking than watching your little girl try to suck her thumb and having to take breaks to breath!!! She is so much like her daddy in so many ways, sadly his allergies had to be one of the traits she inherited from daddy.

We have been anxiously awaiting our first fourth of July as a family of three. I remember being pregnant at the fireworks last year daydreaming about how it would be. Just thinking about how wonderful it would be having our miracle baby in my arms during all the holiday festivities. I was so excited to be able to take Tegan to the parade, then swimming at my moms all day and go watch the fire works as a family later that night. Sadly mother nature decided to rain on our parade :( We didn't get to watch the parade and we didn't get to go swimming but it did thankfully clear up just in time to make it to the fireworks!!! We were a bit nervous as to how Tegan would handle them but to our surprise she LOVED them!!! You would never even know that she was 3 hours past her bedtime, she was such a good girl!!! I can't wait for next year to get here so we can do it again, hopefully with tons of sunshine, parade fun, and swimming.
