Anniversary, etc.

Happy Anniversary to us! Yesterday was our 2nd wedding anniversary. Only two years!? It feels more like 9 (read here to find out why). 2 years sounds so puny. I can't wait till we get to the meatier years like 12 and 13. To celebrate, Andrew mostly took a day off from studying for his board exams. He made me breakfast in bed, cleaned the house, and was basically wonderful as usual. I'm still in the process of making his gift so I'll have to post about it later. Andrew's Dad drove from Cleveland to babysit for us so we could go to the swanky restaurant, M, which we have been looking forward to for a year (we won a $75 gift card from a photo contest). We feasted on lobster, dover sole, scallops, lobster ravioli and banana bread pudding..mmmmm...my mouth is still watering. To finish off the night, we went to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (kind of weird, kind of cool...definitely different).

Anyone who knows Andrew knows that I am the luckiest girl in the world. When I was about 10 or 11, I figured that if I was ever going to get married it was going to take quite a guy to put up with me (and he'd have to like freckles which my 11 year old self thought was impossible), so I started praying for it every night. My only requirement was that he be a really good man to the core (and it wouldn't hurt if he was a sexy little sucker). I don't want to sound like I was obsessed with getting married because I wasn't. I just knew that I needed extra help to find someone extra fabulous. Well folks, prayers are answered because I married way above me (which is a great feeling). He's not only good to the core AND a sexy little sucker, he is also full of energy, love, humor, patience and fortitude. Happy Anniversary!

Below are some pictures from Easter:

Luke is discovering grass (he hasn't spent much of his life outdoors...yet)
Here are some shots from our Easter egg hunt. I helped him this year but next year he's on his own.
Luke really loved the plastic eggs. They've been a big hit all week.
We thought it was a cute idea...he just thought we were crazy. I can hear him now, "Come on guys, I'm too old for this stuff!"
Luke didn't get much for Easter. This ball was pretty much it. But he's happy with the simple things in life. I love his nostril flare in this picture.
