4th of July Week

So this year the 4th fell on a Wednesday. It was weird with it falling mid-week like that. It was nice though that morning to take it easy around the house as a family. We did get ready and packed up to head to my parents around 11. We got there and the kids and Austin went swimming. I enjoyed just reading my book and chilling for a bit. Randall and Elizabeth arrived around 12:30. We ate and just enjoyed visiting with one another. It seems during the summer we don't all get together quite as much. We were over there until probably close to 4:00. Colby also was staying to spend the night since Lindsay would have surgery the next day. We had a very quiet night. Had she not have had surgery scheduled I really would have wanted to take them to see fireworks. Oh well we got to bed at a decent hour. 
Thursday we were up early for her surgery. I was a little nervous, but not quite as much as last time since we knew what to expect. I could tell Lindsay was a little apprehensive, but she handled things really well. We got there and got checked in and our children's pastor met us there to see her and pray with her before surgery. Things went well once again. We were out of there and home by about 12:30. We were able to pick up Colby and get lunch and come home to relax. Her kindergarten teacher Mrs. Schifflin had left some candy and a card by our door so that tickled her when we got in. That afternoon we mostly spent just resting. She did great though. Even by that evening she was scooting around on her bike! 
Friday I knew would have to be a fairly low key day since Lindsay just had surgery. I knew though we would also need to get out the house or it would be a super long day! We ended up running a couple quick little errands then went to pick up August the class pet "Guinea Pig" from Colby's teacher's house. That afternoon we just hung out and tried to relax.
