4 Years!

Today is our 4th Anniversary! We celebrated by having our first overnight without Jacob! Aaron and I have both had overnights away from Jacob, but not together! We had a nice dinner then went to the Cherrytree Inn (the same hotel we stayed at on our wedding night) and enjoyed the uninterrupted company of each other while drinking a few beers on the balcony. It was extra nice because everyone was lighting off tons of fireworks for us (and people kept asking why we chose to get married this time of year ;) ). It really was a perfect evening. I'm so lucky to be married to such a wonderful husband and amazing father. We have our moments, but lately things have been really good! Jacob did really well at Grandma's and it was especially nice for Aaron and I because we knew he was in good hands and did not worry about him at all.

Six Lakes!

Last weekend we went to Six Lakes to visit Jeanine, Blake, Betty Ann, Brian and the kids. It was great to see them all! It's funny to see the kids all together too, although they didn't interact as much as I would have liked! Guess I need to wait a few more months. Jacob, of course, loved six lakes because he was able to be outside a lot and got to go swimming and play on the playground. Two of the kids at the playground had to ask if he was a boy or girl though, so I'm not too sure what that means?! Here is a picture of the three little ones together...

Roxy wants to eat Autumn

So, about once a month now, Roxy (our dog) wakes us up in the middle of the night trying to eat Autumn (our cat). It comes out of nowhere. Roxy is just sleeping peacefully and then next thing you know the cat walks by her and she gets into kill mode and chases her down the hall, snarling and growling and acting scarier than I have ever seen her. Of course, between the crazy bark/snarl/growl noises and the sound of the claws running down the hallway, the whole house wakes up. It's very frightening, but then the next day we always laugh about it, because Roxy is generally so nice to Autumn. It reminds me of Madagascar when the lion starts getting REALLY hungry and next thing you know the animal instinct comes gets the best of him and his friend is looking like a pretty good snack! So crazy.





So that is our update for now! This weekend Aaron is working and then in one week we leave for Illinois for Debby & Bob's wedding! I'm looking forward to everything, except the drive and the toast that Kim forced me into ;).
