4th of July



The 4th of July kind of snuck up on me and I forgot to make sure I had holiday appropriate outfits for the girls. I managed to find something suitable for Noella (thanks to my cousin, Robin) but poor Mercy ended up in a bathing suit and white sweats. Only thing I could come up with on such short notice (short notice? as if the 4th of July was a different day this year?) but at least she was in the right color scheme. I thought it turned out OK until Ryan made the point that she looked like one of the trapize people in the circus from the 1950's. It oddly rang true. Poor little Merce all ready for the circus when her best friends are all cutey and frilly. I'll do better next year.
And here's a pic of the whole crew. Ashton/Layla, Lily/Bryn, Noella/Mercy. It really is a unique blessing to have such close friends who all have kids the exact same age as our own. And this round we all had girls!
