Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day!!! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday. We have been playing/picnicking with my family in the area, and plan to see the fireworks at Thanksgiving Point later tonight. It has been fun to catch up on the news with my sisters. My family is currently in Utah on vacation since we will be unable to come at Christmas (due to the baby's impending birth). JT is studying like a crazy man trying to internalize everything he has to know. He will take the test on July 9, and then he will be more or less back to normal for a while. We will be in Utah until July 31, so he will have a few weeks of vacation before returning to work. Leslie has had a hard time adjusting. She has had two viruses, and has been miserable. She just started acting like herself yesterday, and today has been good, so we are hoping this is a trend. Jay has loved seeing all of his "new" cousins, and has had endless fun playing with them. My sister, Adrianne, went with me to see my parents last weekend, and brought her two children. Jay said this of her 4 year old. "When I met her, she was just my cousin, but now she is my friend." They spent the whole weekend playing, and were upset when they had to go to their own houses. Anyway, time to stop playing around and get to work. Have a happy day!!!
