Gina Enjoys July 4th With Jolee

Gina flew back to New Jersey on July 2nd with Ashley, Parker and Jolee. It was an enjoyable and very busy weekend in Louisiana for Gina. I believe Gina started preparing Jolee for celebrating our Independence Day on Tuesday since I received this picture of them. 

 

 Since July 4th was a holiday I had the day off. My morning was spent inside relaxing since the day started off at 80 degrees and it only got hotter. I invited the guys that I work with over for grilled steaks and baked potatoes at five o’clock. Most of the guys I work with live somewhere else other than Houston just as I do. The steaks were great and we all had a good time. Gina on the other hand was enjoying grilled hamburgers and sausage. For dessert she enjoyed a big watermelon. What would Independence Day be without grilling and watermelon? I do not really know since we have always done that. Of course Gina took a few pictures of Jolee in her official Red, White and Blue outfit, complete with a fancy headpiece.

 

 

 I think she is saying what is this thing on my head? 

 Gina said they had a wonderful holiday and so did I. Of course it was back to work for me Thursday morning and I worked over the weekend too. Yesterday I made my reservation at Ransom Road RV Park in Aransas Pass, Texas beginning October 1st. I’ll be starting a new phase of the current project that I’m working on. Gina has done cross-stitching for a long time. She has been working on Jolee’s name and she finally finished yesterday. I’m so proud of her because she created the pattern for the first E since she didn’t want both E’s to look the same.

   

I think it looks beautiful 

 The big news is that Gina is flying into Houston on Thursday. She’ll be here for two weeks and then we are both flying out to California to celebrate Abigail’s first birthday on July 27th. It’s hard to believe it has already been a year. 

Nicole is 14 weeks pregnant today.  Those babies are growing for sure since she tells me she is hungry 24 hours a day. Well, I guess both babies alternate telling their mother when to eat.

That’s about all that happened this past week. It has been cooler here in Houston since we have been receiving some rain showers. It has been HOT in New Jersey. Gina said it has been in the upper 90’s for the past week. It’s been hotter up there then down here. That for sure is not normal. Of course Houston will be back in the upper 90’s while she is here. One thing I do know is that Southern California will be in the 60’s and 70’s. 

   

I just had to include one more picture of Jolee

 Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
