16 years tomorrow
of wedded bliss :)
Our children decided that they should celebrate early by cooking something. I should have probably put a halt to it there.......or after they melted the butter before putting it in to cream with the sugar.....or after they pulled every utensil out of the kitchen cupboards. Their father suggested, as he peered over the top of the novel he was reading, that it was in fact a supervision issue that now needed to turn into a teaching opportunity. He then promptly returned to his novel. Apparently he doesn't teach cooking.
The cake turned into biscuits.....and then just one biscuit....then some sort of decorated slab with the odd chocolate freckle on it. Their father, whilst encouraging their domestic skills, suggested that the anniversary felt more like this many. Anniversary 17 is looking shaky for him.
nah. All good fun. They did clean up eventually. Love you guys! Surprisingly it tasted OK for something that didn't remotely resemble the receipe they 'followed'.
We think this is Gracie's idea of a kiss in preparation. Either that or we look like ducks.
Oh...and I mighta got a combined Christmas / birthday / anniversary present...(for the next 5 years according to Bill). Cant wait for it to arrive tomorrow and get attached to my 5D :)....I think I still get to go out for tea too.....

What a wonderful blessing. Congrats!
Congrats to you both!
Sounds like Paul - he too points out 'teaching moments' then suddenly has something urgent to do. I can still get him back though by giving him the baby then pointing out there is a nasty smell in the room as I quickly disappear! Too bad you're past that stage!! LOL
Great picture of you two.
Gosh, Mark and Bill get more and more freakishly similar!!
Have a great anniversary! :-D
Congratulations Ro - same week as us. We celebrated our 29th earlier this week. Hope you and Bill do get to have a great night out as well.
Happy Anniversary to you both. 16 years is such a great accomplishment in this day and age. Stuart and I are coming up to our 14th (yah) It is hard work but well worth it.
Love the cute cake/biscuit thingie and can I just say that my husband would do exactly the same Bill......
Must be a male thing
