The MOST exciting 4th of July EVER!!!

The 4th started out great! We went to the Lenexa parade with mom. Makenna had such a great time...once it finally got started. She loved the Shriner mini-cars, and the fire truck, but her most favoritest thing in the whole wide world was the candy that kept falling from the sky! lol. I dont think she ever quite figured out where all the candy was coming from, but she thuroughly enjoyed it. She made a friend there and they chit-chatted the whole parade and pointed things out to each other and shared their candy treasures! It was too cute! After the parade we went home for naps and waited for Papa to get off work so we could all go see the fire works. We got out to the place at about 4:30. I thought there would have been a lot more stuff for the kids to do, but there was only an inflatable slide that Makenna went down about 500 times and a little blow up maze thing that was pretty lame...even Mak didn't care for it. At about 7:00 we got a call from my brother saying Terri was in full on labor!!!!! They were heading to the hospital. We decided to stick around for the firworks b/c Makenna was so excited about them. The display was magnificent. Makenna wanted to go bye-bye when they first started but after a couple of minutes, she was a-ok and clapping and oooing and awwing. After they were over, we packed up and headed to the car. We waited about 30 minutes before even attempting to leave and finally at 11pm, we were on our way to the hospital! When we arrived, we had only time to go in quickly say hello and leave because she was ready to start pushing. At 11:38pm on Friday, July 4th, 2008, Jacob Alexander Coleman made his debut! He is absolutely gorgeous!!! Terri did awesome (only 3 pushes!) and she and baby are doing great!

...stay tuned for lots of pics!
