It's Independence Day

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Fireworks from 2009 at Shoreline Amphitheater. Taken before we got trapped in 2 hours of traffic just 1.5 miles from our house.

I hope you were able to enjoy the holiday by staying at home.

Apparently I was the only one in all of San Jose who had to go to work this morning.

Enjoy your freedom by celebrating safely.

Quotables

Someone said the word "axle," so naturally we started talking about Axl Rose...and other "Axles"...

J: Yeah, like Axlrod. What's his first name?

C: Dennis?

J: No, I'm talking about that baseball player; the Hispanic guy who used to play for the Mariners but now plays for the Yankees. What's his name?

C: Do you mean A-Rod? Like Alex Rodriguez?

J: No one is to know about this.

Texts between Justin and Christine:

J: I are some dog stems

J: Hair

C: What the hell are you talking about

J: I ate some fig stems

J: Oh I'm laughing so hard I'm crying

While giving Christine a back massage...

Justin: Your hips are bigger.

Christine: Excuse me?

Justin: I mean, I'm going to go in the bathroom and punch myself in the face.

"Justin works there?? Well, when people ask me I just tell them, 'he works for the FBI or something like that.'" - Nanny

Jeff: Are his eyes open yet? Are they born like kittens?

Me: Jeff...no.

While playing a game of "where's your x with Rolin...

Christine: "Rolin, where is your nose?" ... "Yes, good job!"

Christine: "Rolin, where Uncle Joe's hair?"

Joe: "I'd like to know the same thing."

After being asked to make himself useful at breakfast time...

Uncle Don: It's way too late in life for me to learn how to make myself useful.

A few days after his open heart surgery, enjoying hospital lunch...

Dad: Chris, do you want my soup? It doesn't have any flavor, I'm sure. I mean, they don't put any salt in anything in this place. I haven't had enough salt in the last 4 days to give a slug a backache!

"Maggie, how do you make these towels so soft?! Do you wash them in angel tears?" - Joe
