Happy five year Anniversary to...ME!!! And of course my other half :-) Five years! So much has happened! More job changes than we can count on one hand. Two houses. Two kids. Here's to another five years and then to another 50!
This year Matt made secret arrangements for a romantic get-away. Such a treat! Although I was extremely nervous because Caleb doesn't take a bottle and we planned to leave him for a good 24 hours. Grandma Linda got here mid-afternoon on Friday and we were off! My guess was that we'd be heading to Napa to wine-taste...but we headed south as soon as we got in the car. That meant we were headed to Santa Cruz!!!! Two trips to the beach in one month? YES PLEASE!!!!! A couple hours later we were pulling into a Bed and Breakfast in the hills near Santa Cruz. Quiet and peaceful. So perfect. We went to a romantic dinner at a (supposedly?) famous restaurant called Shadowbrook. We parked at the top of a hill and rode a cable car down to the riverfront restaurant. So cool!
Saturday morning we slept in!!!!!!!! Awwwwwwwwww....to not wake up to a screaming child. Awww...Glorious. We took our time getting ready, took a walk on the property, fed the llamas, and then left for another surprise. Matt took me The Mystery Spot which seemed pretty cool (just what this nerdy girl enjoys!) but they were booked up until later that day. So we went to the Boardwalk instead! We walked around, put our toes in the sand, shoved our faces with fish-n-chips and ice cream, and then headed back home to rescue grandma from our children.
Except Grandma Linda is SUPER Grandma!!! Not only did she get Caleb to drink from a sippy cup, but she also taught Caleb how to crawl and to pull himself up on furniture and toys!!!! Thank you Linda for taking such good care of our children! We spent the rest of the weekend enjoying all the blessings (aka our Children) that God has blessed us with these past five years.

I took this video for Savannah...she watched it several times when I got home.
Now for a quick throw back to our wedding five years ago!
Oh, and of course I can't wait to show you proof of our newest crawling kid!
Okay, first off ~ I love, love your hair... still! Secondly, Shadowbrook is pretty famous around there. I had a GC once but we never went bcuz it was still too pricey for us at the time. Love that he took you down there! Love the beach air down there!
