9 years later!

On the 20th, Mike and I celebrated our 9th anniversary. We celebrated with a nice dinner out. It is hard to believe everything that has happened in the last 10 years. Here are a few highlights I am so thankful for over the last couple years.

- All our kids! They are good kids. We love them dearly. It is a privilege to raise them, teach them, and learn with them. Seeing them discover life and grow is a daily adventure and blessing.

- I love having people live with us! They make our life so much more rich. It is fun to have other people (women, in our current case) to share life with and laugh with. Anna who lives with us is incredibly smart, witty and fun. Sarah is our senior in highschool and keeps us in the loop of current events in pop culture and fashion. She is absolutely fantastic with kids - she is gifted!

- Our community of friends is extraordinary. We are so blessed to spend time with all the generous hilarious friends we are lucky to have.

Of course, the list goes on.

On another note, we had a 4 day weekend because of MEA. I am beginning to miss the kids when they are at school! So, it was fun to have everyone home and together on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, I took the kids to the fabric store and let them pick out some fabric they liked and we made pajama pants. It turned out well and the kids really love them.

Here are the kids in their pj pants - Agatha missed out on this activity. They are happily eating the popsicles Grandpa Lee and Terry left them.
