Happy Anniversary

July 16 was our four year anniversary. Doesn't sound like very long, but when I think about all that we've accomplished in the past four years it sounds like a lot! We moved into our newly built house a few mnoths after getting married - and found out we were pregnant! We've watched Ava go from newborn to infant to toddler and now she's moving on to pre-schooler. We also made it through a rough pregnancy with Lia and watched as our family grew from three to four. Through all the ups and downs we've been there for each other. I love that Anthony and I can still find humor in everything we do. It seems like our "alone time" has been getting shorter and shorter now that we have the two girls. So he talked me into going away last weekend. The only way I was able to do it was with the help of our two mothers. Gramma kept Lia and Ava went to stay at Mimi's house. Both girls did great. And boy did we enjoy ourselves. Anthony suprised me with the destination. We went to downtown Orlando and stayed at the Grand Bohemian on Church Street. I loved being in the "city". We were able to leisurely walk downtown. We stopped by Lake Eola to see the swans and then had dinner at Spice - a steakhouse that Anthony had all picked out and made reservations for. We enjoyed the quality time together, the hotel room, sleeping until 9am, yummy breakfast, and the drive home (when we stopped to pick up Ava's birthday presents - coming in the next post).

Thanks for the champagne Amy and Jimmy! Anthony even brought our San Sebastian Winery glass that came from our wedding reception dinner. He thought of everything...

We felt like such tourists. :)

Thank you Babe!
