fourth of july weekend

we had a ton of family in town the week of the fourth. my sister, natalie, shane's sister, janalyn and lots of erickson cousins as well. it made for quite the exciting week. i wish i had pulled the camera out more. but at least we captured a few shots.

unfortunately, the battery died halfway through our big day in d.c. -- we toured around the national mall and camped out next to the washington memorial for the fireworks that night. it was quite the sight, and christian amazed us by enjoying the fireworks even more than we did. he watched them very intently and didn't get fussy till they were over.

our "all american baby" (thanks to grammy)
