We finally got out of the house for the 4th. We met up with Hobie, Serina, Sarah, Dan, and his girlfriend and his sister. There wasn't any jumpers this year, which was disappointing. We had a little shower before hand which made the ground quite wet. We went to dinner before, and as I was talking to the other adults present, Jameson suddenly fell out of his chair. It was the strangest and funniest thing! I think he just wasn't paying attention and just fell over. He was fine. He has come to love taking pictures, almost as much as I do. He took this picture of me (top right). He was very happy because the Army band played the theme to Indiana Jones. Ian didn't move a muscle during the fireworks. He was completely enthralled. I am glad we decided to go and to top it all off, I was able to sell on of my chairs on Craigslist! Hopefully I will be able to get rid of lots more stuff and soon! Matthew is supposed to find out approximately when he will be able to come home, soon. It will be good to have at least an idea. Meanwhile, I will be continuing to sort and make trips to Goodwill. As long as the children let me!!!
