Happy Fourth of July!

Our days in Kirksville are numbered. In fact, we leave for Arizona two weeks from today. So we needed one last celebration before we all split up, and what better time to be together than Independence day! So here's a group picture of some of the people we have been hanging out with for the past two years. We are definitely going to miss you guys!


Moms and their babies:



Just the babies:



My tired little angel:



I think the Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I didn't really appreciate this country until I went to a couple of third world countries and I was so shocked at how people lived. For the first time, I saw real poverty and desperation. I am so grateful for all the opportunities and privileges our country offers. I am so grateful for the men and women who sacrifice so much for our country. God bless America!
