great expectations

if you don't think that sometimes the expectation of something is just as good, if not better, that the actual delivery. you have:

a. never ordered take-out

b. never bought shoes online

c. never seen this photo of lucas, waiting for fireworks...




we had a very nice fourth of july. little bit of sleeping in. quick visit with k and her family before their vacation departure. (so sad. i had a lump in my throat when we left. that might make me slightly pathetic.) bbq chicken, mound of potato salad, corn on the cob and strawberry shortcake with ragain's parents. watched fireworks in old roseville with the same sweet family who hosted us last year. we thanked them by breaking a glow stick and spilling it all over their blanket. see you next fourth!!(?)
