Happy Fourth!

ByMatt Todd

We went to the Johnson City fireworks last night.  For five days, all we heard from Alyson was, “How much longer till the fireworks?”  Two minutes into the show, all we heard was, “When is it going to be over?”  For a town the size of Johnson City, the fireworks were quite impressive.

The kids went to a waterpark today.  Aiden still has his swimming trunks on, hence the camouflage.  When they got home, Aly decided to dress up in her Princess Leia costume and pretend she was a rock star. 

Tonight, we had some friends over and had the usual Independence Day fare – hamburgers, pasta salad, Italian sausage, watermelon, and apple cobbler.  We finished the night with some sparklers, which are apparently illegal around here.  Didn’t know that until after we were done.  I guess ignorance is bliss.

    Let’s see here – the Hoosiers became bowl eligible for the first time in 13 years this past Saturday. A win over Northwestern and/or Purdue would seal the deal, guaranteeing IU a spot in a post-season bowl. Go Hoosiers! Play 13! Kentucky got beat at home by a team that finished 7th last year in…

    Tomorrow’s the procedure where they’re going to remove Aly’s adenoids and put tubes in both her ears. They decided today during the pre-op exam that she needs a new tube in her right ear, too. The thing that Christy heard during the visit that has raised the stress level a little bit more is the…
