Happy 4th! Our fireworks came a little early, on the side of the road. Hope yours are spectacular as well.

Jul 4, 2016 1:38 PM

Paramedics came about 5 minutes after she was delivered.

Anyone have a van for sale....

FP Edit:
You guys rock. Thanks for all the kindness and stuff...We found a detailing place that was closed for the 4th, but said they would detail the van anyway. I will keep you posted on that.
I hear people send stuff? Enjoy your 4th! I know I am!!
