Today, ten years of marriage, celebrated with pancakes for breakfast and a trip to our favorite beach in the late afternoon. We didn’t do much, mostly just standing in the water or sitting in the sand talking while Carmen and David dug in the sand and ran around us like satellites. For a while we watched some birds feed off of a school of fish just off shore.
Carmen and David, who according to the doctor’s scale each way about as much as a bag of topsoil (forty pounds), helped pack a wagon full of tractors, shovels, kitchen implements, and snacks.

Today C&D figured out how to make sand cakes with stick candles. Good thing they made them outside–while it was probably ten degrees cooler at the beach than at home, but nobody wants to use the oven in the middle of summer.
Of course, the usual construction projects kept us busy, too.

We love the pictures! What a fun way to celebrate your anniversary. Joyce, I am so glad you have left your hair grow. It looks great!
Love, Grandma Jan

Thank you. Carmen and David like it, too–they’re happy to comb it and style it and tie it in knots whenever I sit down.
I’ve let it grow because going to the salon to have it cut made me nauseous the last time I tried. Since I don’t need to help anyone scale a castle wall (e.g., Rapunzel) , I should try having it cut again. Unless Carmen steals my scrunchies for her own hair, I’m always wearing a pony tail, anyway.

Wow, we all have something special on June 26 now – the day you celebrated 10 years (congrats!!!) was the same day my little guy arrived :). Hooray for June 26!
