Hey Irene! Your girls are adorable! It looks like Emma and my Cole are about the same age -- Cole will be 1 on July 23rd. Sounds like you guys had a great Fourth too! What's Jeff up to these days? Is he not home a lot? I can sympathize with you, it's hard when the guys aren't home. Are you settled in Va Beach now? We just got back from a visit with my sis in CA. We had a great time, too! Anyway, take care and keep in touch! Amanda
