Anniversaries
Monday is our third adoption anniversary and our eighteenth wedding anniversary. We will celebrate with the children tomorrow, but Jonathan and I marked our wedding anniversary with our first night sans kids since the adoption three years ago.Paul, Adam, and Rachel left Friday afternoon for the annual confirmation retreat. As a staff member at church, I usually attend as well, but was excused this year due to our imminent adoption trip. With three children gone for the weekend, Jonathan and I took up an offer from a friend to treat Sarah and David to an overnight stay.
After a frenetic Friday afternoon corralling five manic children, we dropped off the last of them and headed to nearby Oakbrook Mall. After decompressing among the flowers, we attended a local dinner theater, enjoying a 1930s-era musical (The Boys from Syracuse) with some incredible dance scenes.
Of course, most of our dinner conversation centered on the children!
