Eighteen Years
Posted in: Family
If you read one of the latest pages from my sketchbook you saw that it was our anniversary on Sunday. Yep, we’ve been married eighteen years. We talked about going to the beach or out somewhere for fun. But I didn’t feel like driving far so in the end we decided to go out to dinner.
We hadn’t decided where to eat but I thought I’d get dressed up. I put on the dress I made back in 2008 (I’ve only wore it once). And I put Isabelle in a fancy little dress.
And then reality hit. My fancy dress wasn’t breastfeeding friendly so I knew I was going to change. But first we decided to take some pictures. Alan put on a nicer than usual shirt. This one has a collar and buttons!
And he put Nathan in a little sweater vest. But no pants. Hee hee!
Then we headed outside to take our pictures. I like that family picture above. But this picture makes me happier.
It’s real life. Me and Isabelle in Crocs. No fancy shoes for us. Alan in flip flops. And Nathan with that big smile on his face because he was sitting on big sister’s shoulders.
Then as soon as we were done with the pictures I changed into a soft breastfeeding friendly knit (Isabelle wanted to keep on her fancy dress).
And took off Nathan’s sweater vest. Then off to dinner we went. 
Great!
…and, I just have to comment on how much Nathan looked just like Alan when he first arrived, but as he grows, he is looking more like you.
Happy Anniversary! Family pictures are lovely!
How could it be 18 years? Were you married when you were 10? LOL!
The dress came out just beautifully! I could see how it isn’t practical at the moment though.
Love all the pictures. Your family is too adorable!
Happy Anniversary to you!
happy belated anniversary to you:)
And thats a cute dress!!
But your Crocs are shiny! That’s fancy, isn’t it?
You guys all look adorable. Happy anniversary!
I love your family photos. You’ve inspired me to do my own. I LOVE that dress. It’s so pretty!
I love the family pictures! Doesn’t Nathan resembles his dad? So cute and Isabelle is so camera friendly.
Happy Anniversary!!!
I remember that dress!! it looks so beautiful on you!! I love the family photos too!
Nathan’s chubby cheeks are so yummy lol and yes He looks so much like his dad
What lovely family pictures! I just remarked to my husband today that we don’t have very many pictures with all of us. Maybe I’ll just point him to your site to give him the hint for Mother’s Day …
Your dress is absolutely lovely, by the way. Green is my favorite color, and I’m rocking those shimmery dots on the fabric. Just so beautiful! I’ll have to check your older post now. And I don’t blame Isabelle for not wanting to take the fancy dress off. She’s so cute … especially with her baby brother/neck muff accessory … XD
Hope you all had a fun dinner, and happy anniversary again!
Hi Kuky,
I just found your blog – what a fun blog you have. And a cute family too!
Happy Anniversary!
2 years ago, I saw you made this dress, and I knew I had to make it too one day! Well, last month, I made two dresses like these, for my little sisters wedding: http://www.tantehilde.be/wrdprss/?p=324
thank you Kuky for the inspiration!
