Be serious! You're not a parent so you just don't know what style you want to have yet.

My style is going to be normal parenting, not this new-age BS. That's for sure! Just don't judge me for doing this differently. And by differently, I mean normally.

Ha! Ha! What, me judge anyone? I've got to put Siobhan down for the night. I'll call you later in the week.

What are you guys doing for the Fourth? Neil from the office is having a block party and invited us. It's going to be a bunch of families, but with kids come juice boxes and cupcakes, so I'm in. Can't believe that it's a year until my wedding. Hurrah!

<eye roll!> I walked right into that one, didn't I?

Ha! We're going to dinner and then will watch fireworks from Nick's friend's loft balcony, which overlooks Puget Sound. Have fun, Sweetie. Gotta run. Mwah! Mwah!

Oh. In that case, I'm still going to blow a fuse! Have fun today.

Just doing a quick check-in. So, how was last night? I'm assuming fireworks after the fireworks?

Damn straight. How was the Fourth in suburbia?

We won't be invited back next year, that's for sure. Granted we'll be getting married that day next year. But you know what I mean.

Neil's wife now officially HATES Ethan.

Subject: Re: Fireworks?
How could anyone hate Ethan? Unless she is a Michigan alum or Wolverines football fan, he pretty much charms everyone.

Subject: Re: Fireworks?
He is pretty charming, isn't he? But I digress. All of these kids were running around and playing. Neil's wife brought out some water balloons that they were lobbing at each other. One hit the ground near Ethan and splashed him. Then it happened again.
Finally after the third splash, Ethan told the kids if they get him wet again, they’d better watch out. Needless to say, they made a direct hit and it all went downhill from there.
