Keeping Up with the Jameses

We had a wonderful 4th of July at Ammy and PawPaw’s house.  Jim and Sharon hosted more than 80 people at their house on the 4th!! Can you believe that?  It was so much fun and the food was wonderful.  We had a great time catching up with friends and watching Luke play with all of his little friends too.  In fact, I was having so much fun that I didn’t take a single picture.  I wish I had taken some—but Sharon and Shauna took some with their cameras so I will have to get some from them.  We especially enjoyed spending Lily’s 2nd birthday with her. 

I haven’t been good about taking pictures lately.  I took a few today while Luke and Lily played in the backyard.  Maggie (Mark’s aunt) completely restored this tricycle that Mark and David used to ride when they were little.  Luke and Lily had a good time playing with it today.  You can see Luke’s latest boo-boo in the picture.  A couple of weekends ago, he jumped off the chair and hit the corner of the wall.  It bled quite about and we debated whether to go in for stitches but opted not to go.  It seems to be healing fine.  The purple stuff is the Mederma that we are putting on religiously in hopes that it doesn’t leave too bad of a scar. 

On Tuesday, I took Luke to a movie theater for the first time ever.  There is a free kid’s movie every Tuesday during the summer and we decided to try it out.  They were showing the Veggie Tales movie about pirates.  I bought Luke the little kid’s meal of popcorn, sprite, and skittles.  He had a great time eating his popcorn and once he was done with that—he was ready to go! :)  We made it through about 25 minutes of the movie.  I wish they would show Toy Story or Finding Nemo.  I know he would love to see one of those movies on the big screen.  I think I will take him again because it is a fun little FREE outing.
