35 Years Ago Today...

...these 2 got hitched.

A few years later they had this adorable child.


(Who just continued to get cuter and cuter it would appear....)



Eventually they added another, not as cute, but with a bigger heart.
And then, before 'ya knew it, they'd added this little guy--
who stole the show with his curls and his laughter. Through the years they've shown their adorable, big-hearted, and laughing children how it is to live life committed to one another and what it really means to be adorable and adored, big-hearted and generous, and how to keep laughing through it all.

And, they've produced a beautiful family:


I'd say they're pretty lucky.

Happy anniversary kids.
It's fun to watch you live in your golden years,
so make the most of it ;-)
We love you, and are grateful for all you've done for us!

"And, they've produced a beautiful family" - that isn't our best family portrait. Awfully hard to be photogenic while being blinded by the sun.

hence the inclusion of it keithie--it's supposed to be *funny*. ;-)

Can we photoshop Kara and Marisa in making funny faces and then frame this one for the family portrait?

Lauren Kooistra said...

lol, yes. I think that'd be perfect.
