Lately things have been fun but a little crazy. Asher is now 16 months old and EXTREMELY active...i.e. climbing everything and destroying all that he can find. He has mastered the art of getting into trouble then using his cuteness to get out of trouble. He's hard to say no to.
Jon and I also recently celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary, almost a year late. Last year with a new baby and a new house we never celebrated our anniversary. Jon surprised me a couple of weeks ago by showing up at the door with flowers, halfway through the workday to tell me that we were going on an overnight date for our anniversary. I, of course, thought he meant our 6th anniversary which at the time was coming up in a few weeks but he said this was for our 5th. We dropped the kids off at a friends house then went to our surprise location in Columbus and checked in at a hotel. We got changed then headed out to Max and Erma's for dinner, the spot of our first "unofficial" date. At the end of dinner Jon gave me a card which stated at the end that there was one more surprise...we were going to a Red Wings game!!! I have always wanted to go to an NHL game, especially a Red Wings game, but haven't been able to. Jon even fixed it so that the Red Wings won....at least that's what he told me. The kids spent the night at home with Uncle Bill and Aunt Teresa then we came and picked them up in the morning at our friends John and Tara's house. I'm so thankful for all of those in on the secret that helped to make this possible. And I am forever grateful to my wonderful husband for putting together a wonderful, belated 5th anniversary!
