The Story Of Us

We celebrated our 9th anniversary over the weekend. Nine years!      You can read a little bit more about our story here   Since we re did the master bedroom earlier this year we have been thinking about what to put over our bed.. it's quite an odd space and I know what you're thinking.. what does this have to do with our anniversary.. don't worry I have a point. We decided to put up a picture of us for every year we've been married..  and we'll continue hopefully till there is no walls left..  We snuck away from the kids for a bit and celebrated with a nice dinner and an even nicer slice of chocolate cake :)                    Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin

We had been meaning to go on a family vacation for a while now.. M's sister lives in Houston with her husband and two kids.. there is our family and M's parents. So imagine us.. 6 adults and 4 kids between the ages of 2 and 6 all getting off our respective early morning flights and heading straight to the parks.. Our minivan overflowing with suitcases and strollers! We were travelling with Disney virgins.. we who have spent all of one day in Magic Kingdom less than two years ago were the Disney experts?! Our trip consisted of three days.. a day per park.. and I know that's a bit hectic but with all the kids I don't think we could have handled any more than three magical days. Our first park of choice was Epcot. There we all are.. embracing the magic.  Mission Space was a bit too much for my sister in law to handle.. :( Test drive was fun especially with D being able to design a car.. Soarin was without a doubt the highlight of the park. I was the

This time of year is usually a bit all over the place with the holidays, end of year wrapping things up etc.. and we thought we'd squeeze in a Disney trip for some family bonding. We are being joined by my sister in law and their two kids and my in laws.. Off to revel in the magic of Disney..  this is from the last time we were in Disney                       Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin   

The second week of November is when our teachers have their convention, it also happened to be Election Week and the week of Ventran's Day. So D found himself with a week off of school! H in daycare meant no days off for him and that's the way we liked it. This way D and I got the chance to make up on some of our alone time, which we now don't get much of, even if it was just a few hours. We baked!  These marshmallow cupcakes were very good. I used store bought cake mix.. used only half and still ended up with 12 cupcakes! While I followed the recipe  to the T.. the marshmallows didn't melt like they was supposed to and roasted instead..  We played board games and worked on a puzzle. 210 itty bitty pieces. Friday M took the day off and we headed to the Camden Adventure Aquarium. The last time we were at the aquarium D was a year and a half. here's a D throwback and more from that trip here and there was a merm

We spent our last day and a half in Copenhagen.. we started our fourth morning with breakfast in Cafe Europa. This was my favorite breakfast of our trip.   After our bellies were full we headed towards Church of Our Savior, a baroque church most famous for its helix spire with an external winding staircase that can be climbed to the top, offering extensive views over central Copenhagen. All I can say is wow! It had been a chilly morning, by the time we were half way up the spiral it had gotten windy and started to drizzle.. it was exhilarating, also a little scary.. had to really hold on to D, I was afraid we'd fly away. H had to be carried all the way up, the stairs were irregular so M was exhausted by the time we got to the top. But so worth it.  After the church we walked through Christiania, a self proclaimed autonomous neighborhood of less than 1000 residents. It is famous for it's hippie culture and cannabis. No photography.  We were g
