Happy 4th of July!!

We had a great first 4th of July as a family. We started the day at the Greeley Stampede parade. It is one of the largest in the country and we go every year. Abby and Luke loved the noise and hustle and bustle of people, they said almost 100,000 people showed up...not bad for Greeley!! We are growing more accustom to being an attraction when we go out in public. We always get the same few comments...
1. Are they twins?
2. Boy and Girl...how perfect...are they identical? Hee Hee!
Then they proceed to tell us a story about someone they know with twins.
We just take it in and enjoy the attention.
Here is a picture of us watching the parade, we found a shady spot by the UNC alumni breakfast...we do have future UNC Bears ya' know.

After the parade we enjoyed daddy's day off from work and had family movie day and played. We pulled out the twins' "pod seats" and Luke tried his out and LOVED it!!!

After the twins went to bed Sam and I watched some fireworks from our porch (all of 5 minutes) then headed inside and watched them on TV. It was a relaxing day but great to have our 1st Team Penn 4th of July.

Our highlight of the day was Abby and Luke's laughing. They have both found their voice and "talk" to us all the time now. They are becoming quite the little hams with their smiles. Luke loves to laugh when we talk to him and has been doing it for a few days. This morning Abby got on a laughing roll and couldn't stop...she started squealing with laughter. It melted our hearts to hear her so happy and it sure beats her squealing cry we hear every once in awhile. It amazes us how much they change everyday and we cherish each moment we have with them.
