Jared and I are celebrating our anniversary today with an overnight trip to Leavenworth, WA. It is our 11-year anniversary, but since we didn't do much for our 10-year anniversary because Alice was just a little baby, we are using up some of our leftover 10-year anniversary energy with our first stay in a FaNcY spa hotel. I'll report back next week how it went! It has been the best decade and beyond with Jared. I love us.
Alice got her cast off this last week! Her arm is looking just how they wanted it to. We're going to continue being extra cautious with her for the next month, but otherwise she is enjoying her ability to splash around in water again and run wild and free.
We had a wonderful 4th of July with Jared's parents. We spent the afternoon at our little town lake and smoked a pork butt for dinner. The fireworks were absolutely out of control. It's fun to have a 360 show of aerial fireworks all around us in our neighborhood. It can be a lot with 8 explosions happening simultaneously for several hours. We knew it was tie to call it a night when Jack ran inside crying with his hands over his ears because it was just too much (and it was also way past his bedtime). Grandma Lambert made some homemade ice cream and a delicious raspberry cake.
