Snapshots: Twenty-two Years

A. and I celebrated 22 years of marriage yesterday.

I always put our wedding album out on the table for the kids to look at. And they always remark how young we look in the photos.

I made a very pink vodka slushie for us to toast with. It's pink because of currant juice made with the wild currants the kids picked for me.

Poppy has been reading the Ramona Quimby books and, like every child who reads those books, she had to try making tin-can stilts like Ramona's.

She made them herself and got quite accomplished walking on them after some practice.

Washing beloved stuffed animals always results in a rather concerning clothesline.

Sheep and Jeremy the Rat, hung out to dry.

I finally replaced my speedy purple shoes that were falling apart.

Not purple. Not all that speedy, either, I guess.

My biggest accomplishment this week was completely emptying the younger boys' room and rearranging it when we cut their bunk bed into twin beds.

There was so. much. stuff. in this room.

Edited to add: I forgot the flowers this week! Shocking. You can see what is on the table right now in that photo above with the anniversary drinks. And then last week, I added a couple more sunflowers to the altar flowers before bringing them to church.

This week's altar flowers were very similar, except I bunched the sunflowers together a little more.

It's definitely sunflower season.

There you have it! My life, snapshotted.
