OK so I know it’s Thursday and I am just getting this up to the blog now but man have I been busy!\u00a0 We went to 3 BBQ’s and saw lots of friends 4th of July weekend.\u00a0 Friends that we haven’t seen in a long time and it was so much fun.\u00a0 Fun to get away and just relax.\u00a0 Not worry about house stuff or how much we can get done in 1 weekend.<\/p>\n

Then I had a 3 day workweek this week that I still had to fit 5 days of work into and another 3 day weekend starting now!\u00a0 Yay for me:)\u00a0 After a 2 hour and 10 minute commute tonight (do to another one of NJ transit issues that we are paying 25% more every month to have the pleasure of experiencing)- I am finally able to get this post out there.\u00a0\u00a0 So BBQ #1 was a sleepover(actually the 3rd one was too- ha!)\u00a0 We had a great time catching up with Chris’ college friends all of whom we hadn’t seen in over a year! Time flies and we hope to not go that long again without seeing each other- good thing we have a wedding coming up in August:)\u00a0 Catching up, fun times, 2 new babies born 1 day apart, 1 new engaged couple, burgers, beer + fireworks= a fun night.\u00a0 Oh plus I was drooling over their new Mac- I want one!\u00a0 Scratch that- I need<\/em> one.<\/p>\n

I really like this one because it is so Chris.<\/p>\n

This is Lily and she is so cute and looks exactly like her mom!\u00a0 I still remember the year she was born her parents sent us a photo of her in a pumpkin:)\u00a0 Now she is a big sis but still daddy’s little girl.<\/p>\n

BBQ#2 was over at Kimberly and Mike’s before the fireworks to hang out with friends, celebrate a first birthday, eats lots of food and take lots of photos of babies- I’m still editing those ones:)\u00a0 BBQ #3 was seeing the Macy’s fireworks from my sister’s roof deck- how awesome!<\/p>\n

And I’m still trying to figure out where to hang my cafe lights!\u00a0 I love<\/em> these lights-they look so European to me.\u00a0 Any ideas where I can put mine?<\/p>\n

This next one was taken at about midnight and the moon was just rising over the city!\u00a0 Because I didn’t bring my zoom lens the fireworks photos didn’t turn out at good as last years:(\u00a0 So scroll down the previous post.<\/p>\n
