five year anniversary

today is our five year anniversary

yesterday the kids had a dentist appointment in spokane

so we spent the night there just for fun

to celebrate our anniversary as a family

despite staying on the 5th floor of a hotel overlooking the river,

taking them to a movie, swimming, lots of treats, etc

they were brats

and we left spokane early with hazel and me in tears

we should have stuck to our original plan of michael's parents watching the kids

oh well

thank goodness for good friends

the livelys watched the kids this evening so we could go out to dinner

we even left eleanor for the first time

so it was a relaxing evening without kids

and michael got me an anniversary band as a gift

so that was really sweet

we also made the decision to switch eleanor to formula today

so i can quit the super strict diet i've been on for the last 5 weeks

and we shared a piece of Belgian chocolate cheesecake

it was amazing 

and i'm excited to eat normally again

i am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband

kind of crazy we have 4 kids and we've only been married 5 years now

but it has a been a really fun journey

and we're excited to see where we are in another 5 years

love you, michael!
