July 4

Jeannie is finally home on July 4th, and she had a wondeful time at the EFY. We picked her up in Maryland and drove back the same day while mom and dad wathed the kids and fixed Jeannie's favorite food. Dad made roast pork and BBQ pork, and mom made turnip rice cake. They were absolutely delicious!

The same afternoon, we went to Martine and Gary Green house for the July 4 dinner. I loved Martine's authentic French cuisine. The vension spread and the plum cake were my favorite besides the cheese.

Must be the magic of EFY... My child seemed had suddendly grown overnight. During dinner, Kyle C., came and talked to me how impressed she was with Jeannie of making sure Abby J. felt welcome to the party. Gloria C. also made a comment of having a fun visiting with Jeannie about her cereal theory! Jeannie was trying to convince Gloria of replacing her vegetables with three cups of cereals. Obviously, it didn't work for any adult, not to mention she is a Dr's wife. :D Later that evening, Jeannie asked to remove Jady's cupcake tattoo to get ready for church, reminded us of giving Jady a amodest dress for the next day, and no fussing on Fast Sunday. Way to go, EFY...

We went home after dinner, took my parents to Charlie Brown's parking lot and watched the fire work. They were stunning!

The crazy kids came home and lighted up the fireworks in the backyard!
