Fireworks...

we joined our neighbors at the local fireworks display...things are always more fun with friends!

Joshua enjoyed some special time with Daddy while the sky grew darker...

and then we gathered together for the fireworks display...this afternoon Micaiah and I were talking about watching the fireworks and he reminded me that he had been scared of fireworks before...I told him he could take his "drumming headphones" if he wanted to...and he said "Is Daddy going? I feel braver with Daddy."

I was so struck by those words...isn't that how it's supposed to be...

...what a glimpse of our relationship with our great big God.
