Waiting for the sun to go down on the 4th of July is about the hardest thing for a kid to do - especially after "holding a sparkler" has been a topic of conversation for a few days.
This was the first time the kids got a crack at it (under adult supervison of course!) Tenetative at first, they were soon asking for two at time! The whole evening was a ton of fun - some cool photos - click HERE for the album.

This amazing, beautiful girl is my new niece. While I was busy packing up to leave India, she was busy getting ready to make her own transition - into the world. I have been anxious to meet her since the news of her arrival in late June.
It is impossible to "squeeze in" all the love I have for her during my short visit. Taking full advantage of the time I had, I sang her a few songs, told her a story or two, held her while she slept and gave her some of the kisses I had wanted to from the day she was born. She is incredible - a reminder of all the possibilities that surround.
The photos in the album - New Arrival - document a few moments while I was visiting. Here is hoping her parents find there way onto a plane headed down under - ok, maybe a couple of planes - fingers crossed.
