6 years!

This is what we were doing six years ago this week!

Our lives have changed so much since then, not the least of which is the addition of Grady to our family.  I cannot say that I knew we'd wait six years to expand our family, but I can say that I am glad we did.  We made a lot of wonderful memories together in those six years with the freedom offered by a no children lifestyle, but I am sure they will be nothing like the memories of the next six years. We celebrated with a dinner out by the river without baby.  We even snuck in some conversation that didn't involve discussion of Grady, although it was a very limited amount.  I enjoyed my first drink in nine months as we toasted in celebration of our anniversary.

Meanwhile, back at home Grady boy had his first gradysitter, a term coined by my mom and the inaugural gradysitter.  We were informed that he slept the whole time we were out, but my mom refused to put him in his bassinet because she wanted to stare at him.  We are so thankful to have family members in town that are willing and able to watch our little guy so we can continue to enjoy some time together as a couple.  We know how precious that is and we don't take it for granted.  Thanks mom!
