teamLesan: five years down, eternity to go


I have a New Year's non-resolution (because I don't do resolutions) to not procrastinate. But I've clearly procrastinated acting on this non-resolution, because here it is Jan 18 and I haven't yet written the post I want to about the momentous event that always kicks off the New Year: our anniversary.

January 2, 2004 dawned sunny and pleasant, with a foot of fresh snow on the ground. As snow always should, it melted from the sidewalks and streets but stayed shimmering and clean on the landscape. Perfect for driving, walking and - most especially - gorgeous pictures. And so began the wonderful adventure that is teamLesan!

We celebrated our fifth with a lovely dinner at one of Cincinnati's finest steakhouses, but the real treat will come in February when we leave the kids with Grammie and Pops for a weekend and head to Zion Canyon for some hiking.

Happy Anniversary to us, five years and two adorable children since we started, with a lifetime and beyond of happily ever after yet to enjoy.

Your cake was awesome. Did you save the top to eat on your first wedding anniversary? I sort of wish we had done that. Also, Abby looks so young in that photo - I can't believe it.

We ate the top of our cake as soon as we got back from our honeymoon. Who wants to eat year-old frozen cake? Yuck.

We were so excited to be a part of that celebration. And that was a gorgeous cake. Yay, Caitlin!

Congrats! Wow, I remember that night. That was a beautiful reception. Has it really been 5 years? I'm gettin' old.

5 years, 2 kids, not too shabby.
