Celebrating the 4th

Looking tough. She won't wear her own helmet, but she will wear Xander's.


Waiting for the neighbors' 4th of July party to start.




Hee.


Ben! We met Ben and his parents exactly a year ago today, as they walked past the Zimmerman's 4th of July party. They'd moved to our neighborhood (from Boston) just a couple days earlier. Now we count them as good friends and get the kids together as often as possible.

It was nearing Clare's bedtime and Xander was ready for her to go.


Luckily she likes being carted around by her big brother.


S'mores with the neighbor kids.


A little help from Daddy.


Yum.


"Too slow...too slow..." Xander loves Bill.
He's the best neighbor (and baseball coach) a person could ask for.
