Our Anniversary

Yesterday was our anniversary. If you're envisioning a fun-filled, child-free day ending with a night out by ourselves and a nice dinner...well, then you don't know us very well.

We used to have that kind of anniversary, up until four years ago. So in reality, we've only had two anniversaries like that. (That seems so sad in print.) When I was pregnant with Big Brother, the first few times we went to the doctor, my due date was the same as our anniversary. As time went by, his due date was moved back a few days, but Big Brother ended up being born just two days after our 2nd anniversary.

So anniversaries 3-6 have been spent having birthday parties. Our anniversary takes a back seat each July to Elmo, Thomas the Train, John Deere and finally this year to Lightning McQueen. We would never think of ever moving his birthday party just so we could have a little fun. We will celebrate our anniversary in a few weeks when summer settles down and I for one cannot wait for that day. I'm to the point that I would do almost anything to get away from these four kids for any amount of time. ANYTHING!
