Our 5th Anniversary, and a very special birthday day!

We are celebrating our 5th anniversary today. I can't believe that Chris and I have been married for 5 years. George and Susie are going to keep the kids. We are heading to Steamboat for the night. It should be fun. I am going to enjoy not sharing my food or picking food up off the floor and driving in complete silence. :)
But I am going to miss my kiddos...I am a bit nervous about leaving them. I know they will have a great time with G'pa and G'ma. Their house is like a second home. I just know Chris and I will say several times how much we miss them. And we will miss them, but it is good for both of us to take time together! Wish us luck...

"Moon, you have followed me all the way home. What a good, round friend you are!" said Owl.
This is a quote from Owl at Home by Arnold Lobel. I love this book, and we read it right before bed last night. It was perfect because right after we read this book, Dad looked out of the window and saw this!!! I had to take a picture.
We finished my birthday day with Fischer singing All Things Living. It was a lovely way to end a very memorable and special birthday day.



We had an amazing thunder/lightening rain storm last night. It was incredible, and hard to put into words. It was cracking and booming louder than I have ever heard it before. Then a double rainbow appeared. It was beautiful to see this rainbow shining down, and all around it bolts of lightening would appear.

We had homemade turkey soup yesterday for lunch and dinner. It was perfect for our stormy, stormy day.

All afternoon I wore my new slippers and PJ's. :) It was really cozy while it poured outside. :)
