Fourth of July

Well it has been awhile since our last post, but to recap a bit...

The Masons left on Tuesday mid-day. On Monday we visited Shealy's for BBQ and also went antiquing. On Tuesday I went back to work and Terrie and Gma Char cleaned up the house as well as cut and froze all the left over peaches we didn't get to. It was so great to spend time with them. It...1) made us realize how lucky we are to have such great family, and 2) made us realize that it stinks to be so far away from them.

Last week I began conducting interviews to fill a vacancy in our section at work. Aaron joked that I shouldn't be nervous - it was the interviewees who should be. All in all, the first few went well and it has been a good experience.

It was a short work week, as I had Friday off. On Friday, Aaron, Kendall and I went shopping at the mall. Aaron surprised me by letting me spend some of his extra work money buying new work clothes. It was great!

Friday night we had the Weidners over for dinner and got to generally catch up with them.

On Saturday morning, Mrs. Page, Kendall and I went to the Peach Festival in Gilbert. We enjoyed the music and sun while walking around to each of the vendors. I picked up a few things for Kendall. Mrs. Page and I dropped Kendall off at home and went to El Chico for a ladies lunch.

After resting up a bit, we headed over to Mrs. Michael's for the fireworks on the lake. Here is Kendall playing with her new friend, Riley. The fireworks on the Lake were great and so was the dinner and time with friends.

Today we all enjoyed a great day just lounging around home. Kendall seems to be eating a bit more lately, so Aaron and I picked up some rice cereal and decided to try it out this weekend.

She did pretty well with it - although it was honestly only a few bites. We'll probably continue to try it from time to time.
