6 years and the yearly visit

Last Sunday was our 6 year anniversary.  The night before we attended a marriage renewal put on by some Regnum Christi friends and we renewed our wedding vows–which was extra sweet since it was the vigil of our anniversary.  There are many days when I can’t imagine loving Adam anymore than I already do, and God surprises me and shows me how I can. Thank you dearest Father in Heaven for blessing us with the Sacrament of matrimony and the love we share with you and each other.

And being January and the birth of another Gretencord grandchild, it’s also time for the yearly visit from Mom and Dad Gretencord and Fr. Tim.  And it’s an extra special trip because we’ll be baptizing our niece, Grace, on Saturday.  Mom, Dad and Father spent the last few days with us.  We took some trips to the Austin Children’s Museum (thanks to Julie for the membership!) on Tuesday, and yesterday we went to New Braunfels and Gruene before parting ways until the baptism.

Here are some of the highlights of our life since Sunday:

Gianna sporting some shades.  I think she looks like a little Jackie-O with Mrs. Kress’ shades.

Grandma sported all the kids with shades by Monday morning!

At the Austin Children’s Museum, Fulton made a beeline to the Metro Rail driver’s seat.

Open wide!

“You see, Grandpa, the wheels with more friction will lose energy and stop first.”

Singing the blues at Austin Kiddie Limits!

At the top of Mt. Bonnell.

The whole fam!

(In Gruene) The two most handsome guys on the planet…my beloved and my son.

The kids really treasure these visit and will have blessed memories of grandma, grandpa, and Fr. Tim’s visits, Father saying mass at our home and the field trips of family bliss.  And the adults equally reminisce of the the funniest moments of past visits and how this all started 6 years ago when we said, “I do.”
