On March 25th, Ben and I celebrated our 6th anniversary! Hard to believe we were newlyweds just a mere 6 years ago! Well, yet again a baby has gotten in the way of our traditional anniversary trip to Mexico. At just 7 weeks, we weren’t ready to leave her for a 4 night international vacation, and actually, we weren’t even ready to leave her with a babysitter. So this year our anniversary was very family friendly!

We went out for a lovely brunch at one of our old favorites, Chef Geoff. On Sundays they have a lovely jazz duet, which Sam was quite entertained by! Campbell just slept the whole time and Sam was on his best behavior.

Then for dinner, we decided to go to Columbia Firehouse. It is a semi-family-friendly restaurant for brunch/lunch but is pretty fancy for dinner! I was a little nervous when we walked in with TWO young kids at 7 p.m.! Campbell slept the whole time (that’s kind of her M.O.) and Sam was amazing. We couldn’t believe how grown up he was. And this was not a rushed dinner. We had wine, a cheese course, salads, entrees, and desert. Sam was sweet through the whole thing, didn’t once raise his voice, and ate, or at least tried, all of his food (including stinky cheese!). At the end of the meal, the waitress actually thanked us for raising such a well-behaved child. Sometimes the stars align!

So all in all, it was a very good anniversary! And hopefully in a few weeks or months, we’ll be ready to leave Campbell with a sitter (and Sam too!) so that we can have a proper date night! And maybe then I’ll actually get a picture of the two of us.

I love you, Ben! It’s been a great 6 years!
