I will pre-apologize for the picture overload from today. Some day's it is acceptable, and I am allowed to post as many pictures as I want, since in fact, this is MY blog!! Today is one of those days...... The hubby and I are celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary today.... 7 years... WOW. Sometimes it seems just like yesterday, other days, well it seems like 400 years! Ha! We have packed a lot in to our 7 years as husband and wife. We have had our ups and downs just like any normal couple, but we both have grown, matured, learned a lot about each other, have learned about priorities in life, and have learned who our 'true' family and friends are. It has been a bumpy path, and I think we are both in a really good 'groove' right now. We are settled in the perfect town to raise our family, and the best place for our relationship for now, and in the future.

Our wedding day (11-5-2005)
We didn't manage to get a picture around our 1st anniversary because I was 9 months pregnant, on bedrest, and having a difficult pregnancy. This is the closest picture of our 1st wedding anniversary (2006)... 3 weeks later we welcomed the birth of our healthy baby boy who was born 3 weeks early. This was the first time I got to see him (about 2 hours after delivery) and the first time that I got to hold him and the first time we were together as a family of 3. We even had the nurses in the recovery room crying!
Around our 2nd wedding anniversary (2007)
Around our 3rd anniversary (2008)
Right around our 4th wedding anniversary (2009)... I was 9 months pregnant with Hadley
A month after our 4th Anniversary, we celebrated the birth of our 2nd child. We couldn't have been more happier and felt more complete with our perfect little family!
The day we came home from the hospital and Holdyn got to meet his baby sister for the 1st time. Something that will be etched in my mind forever! Such a special day.
2010... Our 5th wedding anniversary. We decided to go back to Whitfield Square where we got married and have some pictures taken. Holdyn turned 4 and Hadley turned 1 all within 3 weeks of our anniversary so this was a special memory to bring them here for a photo shoot. It was amazing to reflect on the past 5 years and be in the exact spot we were married. We would have NEVER thought 5 years after getting married we would be back standing under the gazebo holding our 2 dumplings!
6th wedding anniversary (2011)....
Our 7th wedding anniversary.... these are some pictures from the past few weeks. We are having another batch of professional pictures taken on Friday, so I am excited to share those very soon! Those will mark our 7th anniversary, Holdyn's 6th birthday, and Hadley's 3rd birthday (Man, how did we plan that out... we get bombared with our anniversary, both kids birthday's, and the 2 major holidays all in about a month time span!! I tell Robbie we should have planned that one out a little better and given birth to our kids during the summer... ya know to break up the year and not be so stressed and slammed all at once then have a calm rest of the year!! )
Our most recent major change in our family.... This was our last picture with our entire family together. This was the day before Baily passed away :(
We are going to Holdyn's soccer practice tonight and then to dinner as a family. We are excited to see what the next 7 years has in store for us :)
Ok... I know you are tired of the mushiness.... That's all for now. I for-see some non-mushy blogs in the very near future ;)
