4th of July

Today we had our big family get together for the 4th of July Celebration. Went out to the lake, swam, ate lots of great food and had a pretty good time. My husband is always the designated fire marshal for the fireworks that we all set off. He is so fantastic with kids! I watched him as he showed the bigger kids how to set them off safely, and made sure all the little kids got to share in the fun too. One of the many, many hard things about not having kids is that I feel like he is being cheated. He looked like he was having a blast with all the kids, and I regret that he won't get to show *our* kid any of that stuff. I was so proud of how he was with these kids, and it makes me sad, because my husband would have been a fantastic father!
