6 Years

We spent last Saturday, the 29th, celebrating our 6th(!) wedding anniversary. We didn't have a sitter for Saturday, so went out Friday night on our own to dinner and a movie - our first "alone" date since she was born. :) Saturday was family day, something we intend to start having on a regular basis. We decided to take Ada to the Arboretum; we haven't been there since our 2005 anniversary:

Just the 2 of us, Aug. 2005

We had a really good time, with Ada taking her first ride in the stroller. We weren't sure if she was ready, but she seemed to be having a pretty good time, holding on tight and looking all around.

Love this picture of her all ready to go. :)

My favorite part of the day was showing Ada the fish:

We had a picnic lunch and then went to their new learning center - very cool. We can't wait to take Ada back when she's older; lots of interactive stuff to play with.

Love this picture Chris captured of Ada and me. Totally us, and definitely a keeper. :)

A very cool pitcher plant we saw in the touch 'n feel greenhouse.

We had two sets of batteries with us that day, and both died at the arboretum - this was the last picture we managed to take:


No 'couple' shot, and no family shot. Pretty bummed about that. Somehow we remembered to take pictures of Ada though. :)

We wrapped up the day by making two other stops; I got to go to a quilt shop I'd never been to, and Chris got to go to the computer store. :)

All in all, a wonderful day spent together as a family of three.
