Artistry & An Anniversary

Bradon thinks he's an artist.  Unfortunately he just doesn't like to use paper.  He prefers a canvas such as a wall, a couch, a chair, dresser drawers, etc.  I'm not happy with this arrangement.  Luckily we've been able to get his artwork off of most surfaces.  I think he's my most eager artist yet.  Sadly he seems to inspire Tanner sometimes as well.  Tanner wonders how I know that he's been drawing where he's not supposed to and not Bradon.  Perhaps it's Tanner's signature on the sofa or the people he drew on the dresser drawers.  Bradon's artwork is mostly scribbles, but Tanner's has structure and pattern.  Let's hope they give this up soon.

Brian and I got engaged on April 11, 2002.  He brought me home some flowers this year to celebrate that day.  Aren't they pretty?  Love him.

And I have to give a shout out to Allan and Kami who came and babysat our little munchkins a few weeks ago so that we could go on our first date post baby.  We went to dinner at The Wild Rose at The District.  I'd purchased a Groupon to help defray the cost and I was glad I did because it was delicious!  I wish that I had $100 to spend on a nice dinner out more often, however it's hard to get over the fact that you could buy groceries for at least a week for that much money.  I had a super yummy Mahi Mahi dish and Brian had a delicious steak.  Afterwards we went to Lowe's to pick up some stuff for our garden.  It was just nice to spend some time alone together and the time went by way too fast.  When we returned home our kids were happily playing with Allan and Kami and Anders was fast asleep.  I don't think they missed us a bit.  Thanks Allan and Kami!
