14th wedding anniversary, bee stings and benadryl

The first part of the title is great, the rest was a painful, but now humorous memory. We love you, Dad! It makes me smile getting the party ready for our annual wedding anniversary ball. Now, our sweet 7 help; they prepare the house, get super excited, plan the table settings, move the furniture and have a ball, literally. It makes me smile, too, to make our "candy cones" for our children, just as I did for all the children who came to our wedding reception 14 years ago. Life is such a gift. We love you, and Little Treasure 8, you have already made everyday carrying you a privilege. We love you.

10 Years Ago today

We said, "yes" together. Thank you, dear Mom, Our Lady for protecting us. We are grateful and will for ever give you honor. Thank you, Pita, for your beautiful card today. We are so blessed and humbled to be your parents. Our sweet treasures are our gifts, tangible examples of God's love. From the moment our "yes" took place at Our Lady's national shrine, I have forever been in awe of her presence in our lives.
