Merry Christmas!

We hope the spirit of Christ is in your home this time of year and always. Lots of love to our family and friends, The Baldwin's

5 Years Strong!

Hey Bri guess what?!? Today is our 5th Anniversary (good thing you reminded me earlier this week!). Can you believe it? Well I hardly can. I just need to tell you a few things even though it might embarrass you. Looking back we might have been a little bold to get married within 4 1/2 months of meeting.....but all that eagerness has paid off! There was something incredible about committing eternity to each other and then facing the bumps, obstacles, and struggles we experienced in the first few years of marriage (along with the good times). I wouldn't trade those "getting to know you" years for anything because they taught us how to love, forgive, support, and rely on each other. You are my best friend and not in the cliche use of the term. A smile and hug from you means more than from anyone else. You value my role as a mother to your children. You work as hard and as long as you must to support us on your income alone. We might be imperfect individually but put us together and we make an awesome team. I love you and am blessed to know you love me too. I can't wait to see what the next five years has in store for us!
ps- So we're not on the cruise we had hoped as a five year reward but I can honestly say there is nothing disappointing about this milestone anniversary because of the fun we'll have just being together at home. Enjoy the trip down memory lane below.

A few pics

One Moment: Mr. Cool Guy with a head full of hair...
The Next: Confused bald man with a freezing head
Cheesing for the camara and "playing football" - Brian has taught her all kinds of cheers and phrases related to football......is this really MY child??Pretty girl wouldn't take her dress off until I forced her to change this afternoon. She just needed it on this morning for a few minutes to take some pics but ended up wearing it all day. So I guess her love of football hasn't taken her away from being a girly girl at the same time.

Static stopped you?
