Reflection

Monday, October 26, was our 7th wedding anniversary! And I have spent the week reflecting on our lives together. Thinking about the places we've gone, the projects we've completed, the babies we have brought into this world and I have to say, my life is really good. Where no marriage is perfect, that is for sure, I am lucky to have a partner in crime that is willing to devote time and effort into making us a priority!

7 years ago today, I was waking up in London for the 3rd morning as Mrs. Engel :). Our honeymoon was amazing and I have so many wonderful memories. As soon as I have time to scan some of those pictures, I will post them! :) Yep, we didn't even have a digital camera then...eek gasp! I think this was the day we toured the Tower of London and had a really really great Indian meal for dinner. The weather was total London weather and we were thankful to have lots of warm clothes with us.

Well, anyway, enough rambling. I just wanted to take a moment to recognize this significant day/week in our lives and wish my wonderful and loving husband a very happy anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary, Dave! I love you more today than yesterday but not nearly as much as tomorrow! Here's to our continuted journey through life, together!!! Mmmwahhh!!! :)

Some new pictures

Madeline's new "big girl bed"

She adjusted so well to having this new bed and loves her room! She had her first "room guest" a few days ago...Grauntie Sue was here and slept on the trundle :)

Goofin' off! Zachary colored his face with a brown marker and said he was a tiger!

Look who has bangs! I broke down and got her hair cut for the first time (just the bangs). She wouldn't let me pin it back and was constantly grumpy with hair in her face. She is so stinkin' cute!

Speaking of hair...I had a pink highlight put in my hair for breast cancer awareness month (october)

Uncle Rob was here for a visit over Columbus Day weekend

(more pictures of that to follow)

As promised, here are a bunch of pictures from September!
