HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Anniversary

Per usual, I am a day late and a dollar short, but I failed to log our 2nd matrimonial anniversary last month. Although we didn't do much on the day itself, the day before, my beloved surprised me with a meal at Broder's Pasta Bar. So super yum, I can still taste it. If you ever have the opportunity to go, please do so.
Another of our traditions is to have our photo taken at the site where we had our nuptials, the Lake Harriet Rose Garden. Since the babies were there in spirit ( although at that point we thought it was just baby), they are dragged
out and bribed to look cute. All I can say is that it's a darn good thing that they are just naturally adorable and photogenic, so even when they are screaming bloody murder, the shot isn't totally lost. So without further ado, a summary of our last 3 September 23rds at the Rose Garden:
2006-the original shots



The whole scene








Vowing








Favorite Photo (technically not at the Rose Garden, but still pretty darn good!)












2007 First anniversary (Monkey and Bear 6 months old)





Abigail
-the only happy shot of the day







The Monkey-Check out that hair!










The closest we got to everyone looking at the camera-BEST shot of the day.













Pretty cute








2008 Second Anniversary (Monkey and Bear 18 months old)
What a difference a year makes! The girls are almost to big now to manhandle into submission, so this was a pretty difficult shoot. But our perserverant photographer, Sez, stuck it out and got some wonderful shots. The biggest disappointment was that they cut down the tree under which we had our ceremony. Sad.




One of the cutest photos of all of us













Eleanor and Daddy discuss the pros and cons of drinking the water in the fountain












while Momma and Abigail look for life in the bottom of the fountain













Doing the Cheerio Dance











This was such a great shot last year, that we tried to redo it this year...yeah, not so much. Every time we tried to get closer together, A would scream. Sigh. A sign of things to come, I fear.







What's left of the tree.











There you have it. Clan Gacek-where every day truly is an adventure! I will leave you with one last photo: in front of our new house. Please note, we did not try to all dress alike, it just sorta happened. Hope all is well and until next time, solid.
