Happy Anniversary to Us!!!

John and I celebrated 6 years of marriage on Sunday, and we had a really fun day. It started with church and ended with a sleepy family, tired from a day on the water!

After church we went loaded our family along with Jackie and Jeff onto John's parents boat. We cruised the Calibogue Sound, around Daufuskie Island and anchored near a sandbar where we dodged all the jelly fish that washed ashore.

Here's the tiniest mate...

Jack with his Lennon-esque sunglasses.

After about 45 minutes on the water, Jeff noticed that Finley had gone limp in his arms. He was out like a light. We docked the boat at Daufuskie and dined at a local dive. Marshside Mamas. It was the kind of place we didn't have to worry if the guys had shirts on or not. Jack had a taste of soft shell crab sandwich, and Finn slept in my lap. It was so sweet. I couldn't help but to wonder if that was one of the last times he'll do that, but I figured our anniversary was a bad time to bring up the whole baby fever conversation :)

It's unorthodox to spend your anniversary with your children, but we had such a fun afternoon with everyone.

Just a cute picture of Jackster.... We love him so.

On Monday night we hosted the Denton kids for a sleepover. Jack and Gracen were so excited about the "sleepover party". To them that meant good snacks and a movie. And they were right. We watched Kung Fu Panda and ate popcorn with M&Ms in it. Yummy. Everyone got along, and there were no arguments or freak outs. It was nice.

Here's the nutty bunch eating breakfast the next morning. Everyone slept until 7:45-8:00, which was awesome. I considered it a success when Gracen said she didn't want to leave. I guess good snacks will get you a long way.
