We had a wonderful 4th of July this year, that included time spent with friends that we met while adopting Faith. We haven't seen Scott, Laurie and Allison since the kids were adopted, but we have kept in touch through blogging, Christmas cards and emails. We all spent the afternoon and evening at Darrin, Becky and Kaylei's house since they so graciously opened their home to us. We started the day off with the parade in Gahanna. This is Nathan's last year to march (it is bittersweet) but he is the drum line section leader, something that he has been hoping for since he heard of the drumline in middle school. They did an awesome job, as usually, even with the light rain. The girls were only interested in the candy once the band had passed by.
Molly's first 4th of July and Independence!

Nathan's last parade for GLHS
Wow! Look at our loot!!
After the parade, we hit the road to see Kaylei and Allison and their families. It was so nice to see the girls, even though Faith was shy at first about interacting. The girls are growing up so beautifully and had so much fun playing together on the swingset in Kaylei's back yard. After some great food, and multiple crafts, we attempted to have a parade of our own. Unfortunately, Faith was not at all cooperative, getting tired and a little cranky. Molly was as always cheerful and played with all the girls. She loved the attention from everyone! Unfortunately, it was very difficult to get pictures where everyone would cooperate in looking at the camera, but I hope you enjoy the shots. We were very blessed by such a wonderful day!
