4th of July

On the 4th of July, we headed over to our Aussie friends Jason and Jeanette's apartment. We were all in the same Bible study for several years, but J&J moved home to Adelaide a few years back, yet somehow ended up back in the States in Seattle for a while. They are here in Boston for a couple of months this summer, and we are enjoying hanging out with them, as well as getting to know their little girl, Hannah! Jason, Jeanette, and Hannah are the three on the bottom right of the picture.

Anyway, the apartment they're subletting for the summer is on the 22nd floor, overlooking the Charles River, where the city of Boston fires off tons of fireworks from a barge in the river. So they invited everyone over to play together and enjoy the fireworks at their place. It was a great time!

I feel that I should also mention that the people in this picture are some of our closest friends in Boston, yet somehow their pictures never end up on the blog. I think we just don't take pictures of each other when we're together. Thankfully, though, Jason is a very gifted photographer and had his fancy dancy camera out for the evening. Anyway, considering that these are our good friends, you should know who they are. From left to right on the top row, there's Carey, Bethany, Bonnie, David, little Nathan, Bryan, Noah, Nathan, and me. Left to right on the bottom row is Sara and Abigail (they belong with little Nathan and Bryan), Jeanette, Hannah, and Jason.
