Memorials and Candles

Today is Meshanna's birthday.

After church we headed downtown. Our first stop was Arlington National Cemetery, where we watched the changing of the guard at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This was Adam's first time at the Arlington National Cemetery. He was surprisingly quite during the ceremony.

Our second stop was the National Mall. We walked from the Washington Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial. This was Adam's third time at the memorials.

After we got home it was time for birthday cake and homemade lemon ice cream. We placed 36 candles (or close to it) on a chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake, and watched in awe as Aunt Meshanna blew them out. Happy Birthday, Aunt Meshanna! We love you and are glad we got to spend your birthday with you.

We Turned Two

Tonight to celebrate our wedding anniversary we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. This was were we went on our first date almost three years ago. The food was fabulous and the company was unsurpassed.
The past two years have been amazing. Everyday we gives thanks that we have each other. With the addition of Adam it just got better. We have been blessed with a precious friendship and love. We truly love being a family. Even if we spent every minute together it would not be enough. It's a good thing we have an eternity ahead of us.

...Or Maybe Not

Adam rested for a while, then decided that the night was still young. A few hours after we took the picture in the last post, Adam awoke, ready for a late-night party.
