Jim and I have officially completed 11 years of marriage. What did we do to celebrate the steel anniversary? A romantic dinner for two? A night away at a quaint b&b? Of course not. Since Pia joined our family we have become a 3, no longer a 2. Pia requested brussels sprouts and chocolate dipped strawberries for “our” anniversary dinner. (Because of last year’s anniversary dinner she now assumes that chocolate dipped strawberries are the traditional anniversary food.) I think the picture above illustrates our life as a 3. Pia in front, Jim and I in the background, happy to watch as her life unfolds before her. Because, really, having her make us a 3 has made us a happier 2.

Happy Anniversary! Lisa and I are celebrating this in Dallas for you.
