Fourth.

Well, you know what's better than a post on the Fourth of July about the Fourth of July?  A post on said subject nearly a week later.

Truth is, I wanted to post that day, but I was busy and then got a little distracted and alas, here we are - six days later and I'm finally getting around to it.  

I didn't think of making plans for Independence Day this year, because I was leaving the country and knew that my schedule wouldn't really be my own.  But, I was super excited when I found out that we (the people who live on this complex) would be celebrating - I love the Fourth of July!

We ate outside and enjoyed super American-y foods, which included 'red, white, and blue' cupcakes - precious!  [Side note - I did not bake these cupcakes...but I am hoping to clock some baking time while here this summer.  I need to!]

For our entertainment for the night, we watched National Treasure together because it was the most American movie (that they own) we could think of...I'm serious.  The whole evening was great and made me feel like we were some cute little family...of clinic employees.

And to conclude this post, I give you a tidbit on my day in the clinic.  We can now start a tally on the number of babies I make cry while here this summer with my first coming today.  I gave the cutest baby boy a shot in his leg for pneumonia...and now I'm certain that he will hate me forever.  You win some, you lose some?
