Dear Teething Monsters --

The July 4th holiday was quiet.  You took good naps and we played lots.  You both played on the front lawn and we met our neighbors across the street, George and Cynthia.  They invited us to watch the Eastern Prom fireworks from their dock.  Karen came over for dinner and the five of us (six with Harry!) enjoyed steak, veggies, and strawberry shortcake -- and after you two went to bed, we walked over to the water to watch the show!  

More Pella windows arrived -- the triple windows in front of the sink, plus two windows near the kitchen table and the one in the first floor bathroom.  Richard comes back on the 18th to begin removing old windows and replacing with the new and more energy efficient windows!  

The Orkin Man visited this week.  Your room has a few carpenter ant critters roaming.  The good news is that we have few ants -- the bad news is that the Orkin Man could not find the colony inside the house so hopefully the colony is outside the house.  He sprayed and we kept Harry on a leash for a day while outside so he could not get near the house.  

We decided to hang pictures in anticipation of your upcoming party.  Dada is predrilling the holes as most of the house has plaster walls, rather than drywall.  And of course, the painting continues.  The boys are now working on prep work and priming windows.  

Mommy ordered your cakes for the party -- a lemon cake and an orange cake.  You will have your own smaller cakes to be messy.

We love you,

Dada and Mommy
