7 Years

(June 25, 2004)
Today is Matt and I's 7 year wedding anniversary. Hard to believe it has been 7 years, but also seems like a life time ago that we were heading up to Lionscrest in the drizzle for our wedding. We have had a great ride so far and are both excited for what the next 7 years have in store for us. Hopefully good health for us and the boys, lots of adventures and laughs, and a move back to CO! In lieu of getting a babysitter and doing something romantic, we opted for a fun family outing this morning. We packed up all our bikes and went over to Geneva for a bike ride along the river and lunch. Charlie did great in the Chariot - zoned out and then passed out, and our big boy rode his bike the entire time. We can hardly believe we are now riding bikes with him on his own. He had a few falls, one really big one on a steep hill in a parking lot, but even with a major tumble and bloody knees, he hopped right back on the bike and asked if we could go for another ride after his nap. Our goal is for him to be training wheel free by the end of the summer:) We are both so proud of how adventurous, brave and tough he is. We're gonna grill burgers with the boys tonight and maybe watch a little Entourage after they go to bed. A pretty great day to celebrate #7.
