Two Birthdays & An Anniversary

by Filed Under: Anniversary, Birthday Leave a Comment

We celebrated two birthdays & an anniversary on top of starting school this week.

Happy birthday to my 13yo oldest son and my 15yo baby girl.

Happy Anniversary to My Love, boyfriend, husband, and best friend!

We had an epic and glorious getaway thanks to my daughter and our newest son. All of our younger children also worked overtime to make it happen.

Our time away was so life-giving and we were beyond rejuvenated. Deo gratias!

If that weren’t enough, my children worked diligently to clean my room which had been neglected for years. It is clean to my standards for the first time in 6 years!!! Deo gratias!

Two Birthdays and an Anniversary

by Filed Under: Anniversary, Happy Birthday

Papi turned 2 and Sweetie turned 4. My DH and I celebrated our anniversary. It has been a busy week thus far.


There was no need for our birthday tradition, date night with mom and dad. The little ones didn’t want to go it alone. They (we) choose their own simple celebration. We chose to have Papi’s celebration at the pool (where his party was last year). They have kiddie water slides and a wadding pool which he loves. Sweetie had her heart set on the Zoo. I love that they are so simple and take JOY in the smallest things.



My DH and I managed to get an evening away for our anniversary dinner. Thanks to Papa and Nana.

Heavenly Father, We praise You for all Your gifts to us.
In a special way, We thank You for Papi & Sweetie.
Bless them always in Your love.
Bless us too, Holy Father.
Help us all to praise You and give You glory Through
Our Lord Jesus Christ. ~Amen
