Independence Day Weekend

We had such a great time celebrating the 4th of July...and a wonderful time spending time together on this 3 day weekend. Sawyer was Mr. Popular - being such a tiny, cute little patriotic guy, people couldn't help but want to cuddle with him. He made many new friends everywhere we went this weekend (including the entire retail staff at J. Crew!)

Family photo. We enjoyed a BBQ with neighbors and friends in our building.

Mmm. Apple pie made by Tysha and Sawyer. A la mode. It was delicious!

Sawyer slept through much of the noise and activity of the day... wearing his cute and festive pjs from Grammy Kemp.

We are lucky to have such a happy little guy! Below please enjoy some video footage of our 4th of July. We are fortunate to live right by Lake Union and have the best seats in the house - on our roof - to watch the fireworks show over the Lake. Enjoy! We hope you all had an equally relaxing and enjoyable weekend!

He is so little. I just can't get over it!

I'm glad that you all got to enjoy the fireworks in your own ways! We didn't see any fireworks this year, although we did hear a few, because Inge needed to go to bed.

Your apple pie looks really yummy.

He is a cute kid! No wonder everyone wanted to cuddle him!

Love the cute festive PJ's! The first of many more holiday outfits to come!

Way to keep on top of the blogging! The still shot of Sawyer makes him look like a future yoga-master (look at those little lotus-position legs).

The Lake Union fireworks are always my favorite! I love seeing the American Flag fly around the lake before hand. It is very moving!

I agree about going private. It's just safer and give you some peace of mind knowing who is looking at your blog. Be sure to keep us on you invite list.

I couple of things. First, Sawyer is so cute. That pic of him with the smile on his face is amazing! You're so blessed to get those smiles at such a young age. And second, we know where we're coming to see the fireworks next year...your house. :)
