I was looking forward to a small town 4Th this year and Thayne did not disappoint. We started our day off with the town breakfast and flag ceremony at 7 am. Then the boys went and chopped wood and stacked wood at Darnell's while we got ready for the parade to start. Nola got just as much candy at the parade as she did for Halloween. After the parade and lunch, thank heavens, Grandpa decided the chickens were ready to be made into meat. I know........ Simpson men do not have Holiday in their vocabulary. So out we went to kill the chickens. After a little nap in the afternoon we headed off to Darnell's for his birthday. The night ended with my mom's home made ice cream and fireworks until I could no longer stay awake. Nola had so much fun she slept in until almost 7am the next morning which was heaven for me. I saw the doctor yesterday and I am 4cm. I am still clinging to the hope that we make Camille's wedding this Saturday and our closing appointment on Tuesday. However, Myla will come when she is ready and we are anxious to meet her. So stay tuned. She could come anytime.
