The Seven Year Itch

This past Monday (the 4th), Cubby and I celebrated our seven year anniversary! It sure doesn't seem like it's been seven years (well, most days it doesn't feel that way)!

We had gone out Saturday night for some strolling and some ice cream while Mom and Harvey watched the kiddos (and put them to bed--a first for Christian! He did great though! Hurray!).

Monday night Cubby brought home some flowers for me (pretty, and plantable mums!) and a blue, chocolate cake. Emily, of course, was thrilled with the color. We really didn't expect her to eat it though, as she typically doesn't like frosting (or even cake), but, much to our surprise, she loved it and had two pieces! It goes w/out saying that Christian loved it too. We also discovered that not only was it tasty, but it also stained your face, teeth and fingers blue too! After cake we watched our wedding video and it was fun to see everyone and everything again. The kids got a big kick out of seeing Mommy and Daddy so dressed up.


It was by far one of our more "low key" anniversaries (in the past we've hiked Arches Nat'l Park and also gone to the opera!) However, celebrating with the kids was actually a lot of fun as they enjoyed sharing in our love for one another and for them.



After the children were in bed, I also learned what true love is as I watched (and then fell asleep) while Cubby tried for over an hour to get our scanner to work so that I could scan in a picture of us from our wedding day. Despite his valient efforts, it still isn't working--ugh! I guess you'll all have to make due with our blue-cake faces pictures.






So, Happy Anniversary to the one who can always "scratch that itch!"
