Eight Years

 Happy 8th Anniversary to Scott!
We celebrated our anniversary in low key style today.  Scott took the day off work, which felt like a wonderful vacation for me.  We went to lunch while the big kids were at school and searched for Sees chocolates at the mall (unsuccessfully, but still).  Scott made me his famous homemade cheesecake and I'm making spicy steak for dinner.  Last year Scott was deployed on our anniversary, so this year just having him home is great.

Anna got up before me this morning (at 6:30) to make a special breakfast for Scott and I for our anniversary.  She got bowls and poured us out our cereals of choice and even poured milk on it herself with only a little spill.  Great job Anna!  And such a sweet present.

 Scott working on his cheesecake work of art.  It takes a lot of work - a delicious labor of love.

Anna drew this at school for Scott and I.  She told us very seriously that we would have to share it and that it was not a card or a picture, it was a present.  I think its a great present (not picture) and an amazing likeness.

This was the inside of the present.  It was a great anniversary!

Scott got home from his deployment to Afghanistan last February

In June/July we moved from high, dry and mountainous Colorado to low, humid, hot and flat Illinois.  And   we've been having a lovely time, for the most part.  Now you are all caught up again.
