Milestones and Memories
Happy Monday ladies! Today I’m sharing a life update. As you know, I’ve been having a fabulous visit with my daughter this week and our adventures continued through the weekend. Saturday morning my husband, she and I drove up to spend family time with my son and grandson.
My daughter hasn’t been here since Christmas so we had lots of catching up to do.
My grandson’s language skills are growing so quickly it’s a hoot to teach him new things words. My husband caught a video of me trying to teach my grandson how to wiggle his ears 😉 He can already raise each eyebrow independently…but not voluntrily yet so we’ll work on it. The joys of grandchildren are endless.
On Sunday my husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. How did that happen so fast?
Over the weekend our kids asked what our recipe was for a 40 year marriage. My husband had an eloquent answer immediately. I didn’t but the longer I thought about it, the more I realized my recipe was simple. Not the marriage, the formula.
We are a team, and team members play differently than independents. He always has my back, and I always have his. A 40-year marriage takes love, respect, and laughter. Always laughter because when times are tough you have to be able to laugh.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
Congratulations on your 40th Anniversary! Thank you for sharing the old photo- you two look happy then and now. What a blessing. My husband and I will celebrate our 44th this December. Life is good when you have someone who “has your back” as you put it. And your grandson is adorable.
Happy Anniversary! Forty years does fly by, doesn’t it? We celebrated our 41st in October. One of the biggest blessings in a long marriage is definitely the arrival of grandchildren! We had lots of fun celebrating our youngest grandson’s 4th birthday this weekend.
Congratulations! You haven’t changed a bit. Love those grandkids! Could you please teach me how to wiggle my ears so I can teach my grandkids also?
Forty years is amazing, well done. You made a good decision all those years ago!
Your grandson looks quite the little pickle and lots of fun. Have you tried the sliced banana trick on him? Without peeling it, you carefully cut slices inside the skin by inserting and rotating a large needle or piece of strong wire (clean, of course), then watch the look of amazement when he peels it! He seems the kind of guy who would appreciate that trick!
I enjoyed the photos. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations! May you both experience many more years of happiness together!
Happy Anniversary! That’s a milestone for sure! And your grandson is adorable.
