6th Anniversary

Mary and I celebrated our 6th anniversary just over a week ago. We plan on spending a weekend away soon (we found a couple in our ward willing to do kid swaps for the weekend... Yay!), but we did go out for a nice dinner in Mtn Home and enjoyed some time out together. It's been a great 6 years with so much change and growth. I'm really blessed to have such a spectacular wife. I even wrote my first poem for her, which will NOT be published here, sorry.

This is the pic from our sixth anniversary, taken by our friends who volunteered to watch Sarah and Nathan for us. PS - Mary doesn't like this pic very much.
This is a pic from our fifth anniversary, taken out in front of my folks' house. Mary was in charge last year and we did a little tour of some of our early dates (downtown Spaghetti Factory and the Seattle Aquarium). We then went and spent a couple of nights in Leavenworth. I was in charge of our fourth anniversary and we went and stayed at some townhouses for two nights out at Fort Casey on Whidbey Island. This is us at the lighthouse by the Fort.
This is a recent picture of us, though I don't know from when or for what.
This is us on a hike last summer that we went on with Chris, Rebecca, Jimmy and Shannon and their kids outside of Enumclaw, WA.

Many thanks to Mom and Dad Hamm who have watched our kids for all of our anniversary get-aways. It is so nice to be able to leave your kids in trusted hands knowing that they'll be loved and well taken care of. Thanks and we're sorry you won't be able to do it as much as you (AND WE!) would like.... but just let us know and you're welcome to come and visit for a few days.
