4 years old

Our Little Bug turned four! Hard to believe actually. She requested corn on the cob, ham pizza and a tart with no berries on it. Don't we all love custard cream filling?! Luckily, only after two stores, we were able to find some corn on the cob! She blew out all the candles on her own and when someone tried to sneek her wish out of her she said, 'I can't tell you or it won't come true.' I give her a couple of years before she is smarter than both Andrew and I combined. We love our Bug!

6 years

Our six year anniversary came and went! We had reservations and a babysitter set up for a weekend getaway, but unfortunately my grandfather passed away a few days before hand (weeks short of 100). So, instead we attended a funeral and dinned on funeral potatoes! We will have to use the weekend getaway another time.

Although missed, we were happy my grandfather was able to be reunited with his wife after 25 years.

This is not a particularly great photo, but the memory is sweet. Since my dad's original cancer diagnosis we have been out to California quite regularly. He is usually unable to really go anywhere, so, Bug and papa have a tradition of taking Rascal out for daily walks to get some much needed fresh air. It is so sweet to see the two of them walking hand in hand down the hill together.
