Independence Weekend

Hope everyone had a great Independence Weekend! My family and I had a good one. It started Friday with me and boys going to see Madagascar -- a great animated film for the family. It wasn't the best I've ever seen, but fun, and the boys enjoyed it! Saturday my dad and I put down a stepping stone walk in front my house so that we would keep from walking through the yard and dirt (especially when it rains) and then tracking stuff into the house. My brother came into town for the weekend as well. He works for Freed-Hardeman University, a great 4-year Christian university! He and I have a lot of similar interests and he's just a great guy to hang around -- would do anything for anybody. On Sunday we had all the family over to our house for lunch and celebrated Mom's birthday with cake and a digital camera from us kids. Sunday night after church we had a fireworks show over at the church where Mom and Dad attend, Fountain Head Church of Christ. Food was good as well as the show. On Monday we pretty much slept in late, did nothing all day, and I shot off fireworks with my brother that night (and as Joshua said, they were "wicked dude!"). We finally sunk into bed around 12:30AM and I deprived myself of enough sleep for work on Tuesday to be worthless. Overall, a stellar weekend! Hope you had a good one too!
