First off, I want to give thanks to all of our military who gave their lives in the past, and those doing so now, to protect this country's freedom. Escaping a war-torn country full of corruption, I for one, understand and appreciate the freedoms that I have here in America. In the Ring family, I am proud to say that Patrick's dad, Roger, served in the Navy and his brother-in-laws, Everett and Eric, both served in the Marines and the Army. Thank you guys for all you've done, and do for this nation!
So, how did we celebrate our Memorial Day Weekend? Well, by pursuing the American dream! For starters, we put an offer down on a ridiculously priced house in Leesburg. Here it is! 5 bedrooms, 3900 square feet, 1/4 acre and listed at $419,000 (for those not in the DC market, this house is assessed at $537,000.) It's a foreclosure, and five other offers are on it. Please pray that we get the house God has for us!!!
Then, we celebrated Natalie's first birthday. Natalie belongs to Jenny, a mom that I became friends with in our mom's group since Micah was 10 weeks old! They had the sprinkler on for the kids outside.
That evening, our community had their annual "summer kickoff" where local vendors served food, and kids could go on moonbounces or rides. We picnic'd with some of the square pegs.
Micah had his first funnel cake.
Caelan zonked out from the heat, and fun.
And the Newtons invited us over to their Memorial Day backyard barbecue, and more fun was had in the kiddie blow up pools. Micah and BFF, Liam enjoy a wagon ride.
And to top the icing on a great weekend, we also had a visit from my mom and both kids got quality time with grandma.
Quite a memorable weekend! Thank you God for all the liberties we have, and the innumerable blessings that we often take for granted!
