The Dips

I started this back in PA but didn't have the right pictures and I finally remembered to finish it....  

Five years of dips!  I have embraced the cheesiness of the dips and now look forward to many years of them!  I was thinking about how each of the pictures says something about each year.

Newlyweds:   A perfect day with lots of dreams for the future.

Year 1. Well, we posed backwards.  Obviously, we had no idea what we were doing this year and just learning as we go!

Year 2.  Pregnant.  I was 3 months preggo here and so excited!  We were looking forward to our growing family.

Year 3.  Parents of a 6 month old on our first vacation away form Abby.  Enjoying the romantic and adventurous trip but missing our baby!

Year 4:  In full family swing and embracing it! Definitely a balancing act with the two little ones.

Year 5: Living it up in NYC

Celebrating 7 Years

To celebrate our 7th anniversary we started the day off at the beach, which was not the nicest of beach days but the kids had fun.  Matt and I sat in chairs with towels and the kids braved the chilly 70 degree weather:).  

The kids even put their towel robes on for a bit:)

Playing with the seaweed...

Digging holes

After our beach day we cleaned up and my dad came over to watch the kids (my mom was in Honduras) and we went to dinner.  I think we both agreed that is was the best service and perfect place to celebrate our anniversary.  They had special menus printed for us and gave us champagne, chocolates and the dinner was amazing!

Happy anniversary to us!  Can't believe it has been 7 years.  One of our friends pointed out how young we looked in our wedding picture, AKA..we are getting OLD!

Keeping with tradition, we dipped.  While we we exploring local wineries with Mar and Bill, we thought it would be the perfect setting.   Us being goofy and the dips of years 0-6 are here.

The best, of course, are the ones with kids!  Our married life would not be the same without them.  As Matt noted, this dip captures our lives so perfectly- It is hard to be romantic with a 3 and 4 year old but we keep trying!
