It's very possible that most people will think these are nothing-special video clips, but I could watch them for hours....

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my life? I really don't deserve these awesome people...

And here are the whole two pictures I took on Thanksgiving. I guess that's better than last Christmas when I took none. Yeah... Eli's first Christmas and I forgot to take pictures. Oh well. At this rate maybe I'll remember to take at least four this Christmas. (fingers crossed....)

Tessa with Grandaddy and Aunt Cathy.

Tessa with Paw Paw (and no - my grandfather doesn't have a fro, although that plant behind his head would make an awesome hairpiece for him, don't ya think? :))

10 years...

Ten years ago yesterday, these two young people started their journey together.

J.C. and me - January 2000 (17 and 20 years old!)

What an amazing journey it's been! During that time we have finished college, gotten married, moved away, traveled to some amazing places, gained a few pounds eaten some great food, gotten our first dog, moved back home, bought our first house, and been blessed with these two wonderful children.

Eli - 18 months old

Tessa - 4 months old

It's been a wonderful decade, hon! You're the best husband I could ever hope for and I can't wait to see what adventures we have in the next ten years!
