9 years ago...today

9 years ago today we became a family.

The kids were included (a photo with our oldest son is buried in the basement) because we believed we were getting married as a family.

It was a beautiful day and everything was right - how lucky are we!

Until this year we've never really remembered if our anniversary was on Oct. 15th or 16th. It wasn't really important to us and we celebrated both days. It was confirmed yesterday - October 16, 1999. A very happy day!

Here's to 3 (out of 4) of the most important people in my life...pass the champagne!
