4th of July

The Gravely siblings came to visit us in Atanta and celebrate the 4th with us! The weather was unusally mild for Atlanta so we spent most of the day outside in our backyard with food and beverages - a perfect holiday! My brother, Will, took the lead on smoking a pork butt on our grill - it was quite a process but the results were yummy. Some neighbors came over to eat with us before we headed over to another house to see some fireworks. Jay was afraid of the fireworks, but Andrew sat threw them all with his Dad. Enjoy the pics!

Scott and Nick enjoying some sparklers on our back porch.

This was Mary's first sparkler experience - Scott couldn't believe it! Poor deprived Mary... I think she enjoyed them - so festive and fun!

Chef Will smoking the meat and grilling the ribs - yum!

Will and Martha (we missed you Whitney!)

Will (yep - that's right) on the slip and slide. He went down once - turns out the $5 water toy is best used by those 40lbs and under. Ha!

Andrew trying to figure out what to do next...

Getting ready to slide - maybe.

The Morcom family

Jay on the slip and slide - he loves it! I will try to post video sometime.

Our backyard party - slip and slide, inflatable pool, grill, beer, and sunshine - nothing better.

Andrew holding Baby Bill about 5 minutes after he arrived. Andrew LOVED the baby and wanted to hold him all the time. Not sure Aunt Mary was totally happy with this, but it was so cute watching Andrew's total love and affection for his little cousin. awwwww....
