Sunday, July 3, 2011 i don't blog as much as i would like to. many times, i have felt like writing, but i can never seem to find enough time to do it. since almost all the cousins are here, the kids are being sufficiently entertained so i have a few minutes to write. from behind my closed bedroom door, i can hear the kids out in the living room playing and talking. i can hear the clatter of wooden train tracks being constructed, the buzz of the fans running, and little voices singing "your a grand old flag..." they have also been singing "We Believe", a beautiful song the Ohio cousins have taught my kids. tomorrow, we will be participating in our neighborhood 4th of July parade. we are doing a little marching band with some of our neighbors. my oldest will be on clarinet, next eldest on trumpet, me on flute, husband on snare drum, everyone else on kazoos. time for dinner, so i will have to finish later!
