6 years of wedded bliss

Will and I celebrated our 6th anniversary on January 8th! I love a celebration and like to make things last longer than they maybe should....anyway, as we approached our anniversary Will asked, "please let me plan our evening..no questions"....I obliged with a cheshire grin on my face for days actually. His parents came down Friday afternoon to keep Kate and Wright so mommy and daddy could have some one on one time. We both had been feeling under the weather so an uninterrupted night of sleep that lasted past the sunrise was in order. Around 4:30 Friday afternoon Will asked if I was ready to go, asked me to pack for dinner out and that was about it..I quickly throw 3 outfits into an overnight bag, kiss my babies a dozen times and we head out the door. I had not showered yet (busy day at pediatrician and Target) and was asked by hubby if I was "wearing that shirt"...interesting. About 30 minutes later we witness the start of a beautiful sunset as we travel over the Ravenel bridge and head down East Bay. Just past Market we pull off to the valet at the Market Street Pavillion!! As many times as we have come here to the rooftop I have never stayed and was so excited! The room was beautiful, view amazing, food extraodorinary and the company unmatched. It was a wonderful evening!

Saturday we took our time getting back to the house and arrived around lunch. All was well with our babies..we were greeted with squeals and big hugs! A bit of history before I tell this last part...Friday morning I took Kate and Wright to the pediatrician to follow up from our visit to the urgent care in Athens (Wright had an ear infection). They both still had runny noses, but coughs were much better and they seemed to feel better. No Phd here because both of my children have ear infections and Wright has one in both ears...so we were encouraged to see an ENT and are on stronger antibiotics for him. Yes, they are on two different medicines with two different doses just to make things easier. Side note, Wright weighed 25 lbs 5 oz and Kate weighed 20 lbs 5 oz.

So, Saturday afternoon I pack up Wright after nap to take him to see an ENT at their house (longer story than necessary..good friend of Claire)..he offered to check out his ears which was so nice because I was concerned that we can't shake this infection. Pulling up to their home, Wright throws up EVERYWHERE....staying calm I park, get paper towels etc and clean him up. We go inside borrow pants from their little boy (we are in the same music class) and check the ears. They aren't great and we will do follow ups, but we are in good hands. We are finishing up and poor baby throws up again.....borrow pants and shirt from little friend and start to worry more about little man and can't believe this is happening at Doc's home. Walk outside..you guessed it again...and one more time when we got home. Needless to say, Wright took his first bath in the big tub and drank lots of pedialyte. He wasn't sick again and resumed eating and medicine. No signs of sickness in Kate (thankfully). So around 6:15 anniversary evening Will and I look over our sweet children's heads, me finally cleaned up but still have to tackle the car seat, and smile remembering our vows we took 6 years ago. We wouldn't change a thing. Blessed is the word that comes to mind.
