11 years

We cheer through the best times, love through the difficult ones, and are thankful for everything in between.

No matter what.

Here’s to the start of our next year together.  Happy anniversary to the man I love so very much!

Paging through the Fleet Farm Christmas flyer on a rainy October, yes October, day. Guess Santa will need to keep his ears perked from here on out.

Little #3 was on the pool deck this morning watching Little #1 and Little #2 in the water.  After their lesson she apparently went up to one of the pool employees and said, “I’m by three! Which lessons can I take?”  Guess we will be signing her up for lessons next session, too.

Such a fun day!  Little #3 thoroughly enjoyed turning 3.  I love that our friends and family came to help make her birthday extra special.

 

Happy 3rd birthday Little Miss!
