13 Years

Today we celebrate 13 years!

August 30, 1997

Late last night, I put photos of us all around the kitchen. So when we woke early, bracing ourselves for the first day of school, we could have a mini-celebration by the coffee maker.

A few of my favorites from long ago...

Ten years ago - on top of what is thought to be Mt. Sinai.

Apparently, ten years ago we spent a lot of time on top of mountains.
Our 3rd anniversary - hiking in New Hampshire. We still talk about that absolutely perfect day!

Five years ago.

And this past weekend we got out for a fun dinner in Georgetown...

... followed by a visit to the Lincoln Memorial (completely forgetting that the Glenn Beck Rally was just a few hours prior - there was still quite a crowd).

So, we sat there with Mr. Lincoln and enjoyed the view...

... and watched the moon rise over DC.

All attempts to get a picture of the two of us just lead to a lot of this...
(And I have to laugh that I am wearing the same dress in the photo from five years ago!)



This morning (on our actual anniversary), Hannah offered to take a photo as we were hurrying Peter to his first day of school.

Yep, that looks about right for today...
a little bit blurry, but fun.
