Happy anniversary, and first day of school.

We celebrate 17 great years together! Honestly we didn't mean to match. Miranda was so embarrassed she wanted us to change before we left. We didn't. Well this was a day early because he left on our anniversary for the Philippines Again. Funny how he seems to be missing all the big "Stanley Days" this year. Still we are lucky because we get to see him in between his trips. A lot of military families don't even get that. It really works in his favor because it makes us appreciate him all the more when he's home.

The kids go back to school.
Emma and Logan in front of their bus ready to start 2 and 4.
Miranda and Caleb getting on their bus. It's taken from afar so as not to embarrass them. They start 8 and 10 this year. Ahhhhhh "Slipping through my fingers" "sunrise,Sunset"
"Bye mom, thanks for not homeschooling me."

Those look like charter-busses..buses (crap, what's the plural of bus?)your kids are taking to school! I forgot you beat us to 17 by a little over a month. But we beat you by having a kid so quick everyone counts on their fingers when they meet us. :-) You guys look great together! I'm totally going to make us do a matching outfit picture too. Thanks for the inspiration.

Oh congratulations, you look as in love as you were 17 years ago. And all matchy matchy, I love it. I can't believe how grown up Miranda is though, what the?? She's too pretty, you are going to need to lock your doors!
