Happy Fourth of July!

We had a great time celebrating the fourth with some American friends today.

I am very convinced that I have learned much more about being American since leaving America. It is hard to know what is 'American' until you compare yourself with those who are not. Never in America would I have been described or introduced as 'Erin the American.' That has now become my identity!

We missed Charles this year, but still managed a bit of fun. Here are some pictures:

Great pictures---first time I have seen Addie in an upright position. She looks very grownup. Your desserts are very "American" looking.

Really cute pictures-- love the ones with you in them, too! :) And I missed the flag cake this year...always my favorite 4th of July dessert! :)

We're looking at the pictures and absolutely loving them. Maybe we do need to get a better camera if it can take pictures like that. Though I suspect that even if we did, we'd realise that it's more an operator problem than equipment.
