Aren’t we so blessed to live in this country?  Whatever your opinions (and let me tell you, there are a LOT of opinions in NC right now), we are very lucky to live in a place where they can be freely expressed.

I hope that we will all spend this day reflecting on where our country is heading.  I know I, for  one, will be praying to God for our country today, that we will get our priorities in order and become a nation that fears God once again.  That is a dangerous prayer to pray, but danger is usually effective, isn’t it?

Anyway, on a lighter note!  Check out these cuties!

Charlie and Maddie wearing their festive shirts we made yesterday!

Charlie was really excited to be using “permanent” paint. I used some acrylic paint for this, which is also dangerous!

I tried to get them to paint flags on the shirts, but that was a fruitless effort!

My patriotic toes!

I hope you all have a fun, safe 4th!
