Family: 5 Years in the Making

Last week our family celebrated a couple big moments in our lives. Saturday was Liz and my 5 year anniversary and Tuesday was Cole's 3 month birthday.

We went to dinner on Saturday and sitting behind us was a couple who were celebrating their 25 year anniversary. We had a few laughs at their expense mainly because they were sitting in a rounded booth very far apart from each other and neither one dressed up for the occasion. The guy had the audacity to wear a tank top to his anniversary dinner at one of the nicest restaurants in the area. But turning and hearing they were celebrating their 25th, made our 5 seem too easy. I'm not impressed though, I have no doubt we'll hit 25, only instead we'll sit close to each other and dress up for the moment.

Here are some pictures from June and the beginning of July.


The above picture was taken at my cousin Flynn's wedding. It was hot for the ceremony, but we had a wonderful time. They are such great people and we were so lucky to be a part of their day.


Look at Cole grow! I don't think the change from 2 to 3 was as big as 1 to 2. I love that we are documenting his first months this way.


He is such an incredibly happy baby! On the 8 hour drive coming and going, he cried for a total of 3 seconds, and that was because his pacifier popped out while he was sleeping and it scared him.


Cole loves "tummy time", especially when he has someone to play with him. I'll never get tired of that smile.


An action shot of his love of bouncy seats. He is such an active baby. He loves being upright and kicking his legs.


Before Liz and I got married, we had the conversation of "where will we be in 5 years?" We both agreed we'd be married with 1 child, financially stable, and living in the same house. We certainly stuck to the plan! At our anniversary dinner, it was fun having the same conversation. We both agreed on our plans, so if our ability to dictate our life stays true, it proves to be another wonderful 5.
