Independence

Happy 4th of July! 

We ran errands, stopped for delicious all-American burgers @ Five Guys, and lit sparklers at home.  A modest nod to our nation's birthday was all that we could muster this year.

Mollie gets her own independence this week- she leaves for Camp Rainbow tomorrow!  She is a little worried about missing us while she is gone.  We have sent her lots of letters and packed photos of all of us for her to look at if she feels homesick.  I think she'll be fine, but she has needed some extra reassurance.  She's one year older, more self-aware, and we haven't been spending much time around the hospital lately (thank goodness).  Plus we have the upcoming move (scheduled for the week after camp) and all the uncertainty that comes with it, so she is dealing with a lot emotionally.  I hope camp goes off without a hitch because she really deserves that special experience!
