Parade and the park

We had a busy, but fun day today.  We started out this morning by going to the Fourth of July parade in Plano.  I used to go to this parade every year when I was little, so it was so much fun to take Emily this year.  Emily had a really good time watching the parade and I'm hoping we can make this a family tradition each year.

After lunch and short nap, we walked down to the park in our neighborhood to let Emily play on the playground and see the ducks.

We finished off our night by having one of Shawn's good friends from work over for dinner.  They have 2 month old twins (a boy and a girl).  It was fun to have tiny babies in the house. It's funny because it was only 6 months ago, but I can't even remember what it was like when Emily was 2 months old.  She just seemed so much bigger and grown up compared to them.  And yes, Emily is in a different outfit in this picture.  She had an unfortunate diaper incident.
