Invasion!

The Hausses & Taylors have invaded for the Fourth of July Weekend! It is Will's favorite holiday, don't you know! They caravan-drove from Kentucky through the night to arrive fresh as a daisy this morning!

This weekend is a big one 'round our family. Not only do we celebrate Independence Day, but lots of birthdays and anniversaries.

For example, we are celebrating a DECADE of marriage with Caroline and Darren! 10 years ago we were all in Sonoma, CA watching Daroline drink from the wine glasses of happiness (and then to watch the minister drain the rest of the glass!). Congrats to a wonderful couple! So thrilled to be able to celebrate with you two.

Not to mention it is also Caroline's 28th birthday! That is all the Chloe counted, so that is all the years that Caroline is counting too. She and Dad, whose bday it was a few days ago, got the same thing, but oh, what a thing!

See, Dad/Ronnnn/Grandaddy/Dado is already showing Brando how to use the bubbley water maker!

We all went for a walk to the restaurant to have a wonderful meal, with Caroline, Chloe, and Will taking the lead.
Brando is making his great escape!

And at the restaurant, Brando, aka The Godfather, makes sure that we are ready for the toast.


It is exciting to have everyone here! The house is full. The weather cooperating. And the company: delightful!
