After having kids, phone conversations don't seem quite enough for our families. We get to look down every day and see both of our little ones change, so hopefully this will give those of you who are far away a little glimpse into our view from up here.

Happy Weekend!
Inwood had it's big 4th of July celebration yesterday- parade in the morning, potluck at grandma & grandpa, bingo/cakewalk, then demolition derby at night. I'm going to be honest about the parade... it was a disappointment. There was like 5 floats, the rest of the parade was machinery, cars, and tractors. To the people of Inwood: maybe we can work on that for next year! :)
Last year was my first Bingo experience in the Inwood Community Center, which is a lot of fun! My mom and brother both won at Bingo, me and my grandpa won a cakewalk, and poor Roxy (my sister-in-law) walked out with nothing... but admits it was fun!
The derby is always fun as well, gotta love small town Iowa! Entertainment at it's best!
Today is Sunday, and tomorrow I get a paid "observed" holiday off work, it's pretty awesome...
Now Greg and I can start thinking about this weekend. We are meeting Greg's parents from Montana and his brother and family from Sioux Center out in the Black Hills. We've got a big cabin reserved there and plan to do some relaxing and site-seeing. I'm looking forward to a little vacation!
I've also started to think about Kyla's 1st birthday bash. I think we are going have a party on July 25 (the day after her birtday) in my parent's backyard. Better start planning!

Happy 4th of July Kyla! We thought of you guys this weekend because we happened to be in Pella yesterday and found out they had a parade and a little celebration going on. Wish you had been there!
