The First Week in June...

...is one of our busiest and most eventful weeks of the year.

Occasion #1 - Our Wedding Anniversary

Saturday marked our 6th year as being "The Cox's" and (again, thanks to Neena and Fred) we were able to have a nice dinner out by ourselves. No rushing to the potty, no "time outs", and no wasted Kids Meals...just us. Hard to believe that it has been 6 years since I left Michael standing at the alter in the blazing Key West heat (wearing a wool tuxedo - sorry babe) in front of our friends and family wondering where I was...while my mom and sisters frantically tried to clean coffee off of my wedding dress right before I walked down the aisle. But I guess that marked the beginning of the story of our lives...life gets messy sometimes and you just gotta keep moving forward! And boy am I glad we did...I married my best friend and partner in this hectic life and I am so grateful to have him. :)


Occasion #2 - Michael's Birthday

Today is Michael's birthday...and unfortunately for him it always seems to get lost in between our anniversary and now Occasion #3...but we are going out to a yummy hibachi dinner tonight to celebrate his big day!

Occasion #3 - Nate's Birthday

Friday is Nate's 3rd Birthday...I am sure this won't be the last you hear of this event. He is already counting down the days until his party and is already telling people he is 3. I think he's kind of excited.

And last but not least...this year we have a 4th occasion...Matthew is 2 months old! I am scared that I am going to blink and he is going to be 2. I just love this little munchkin...last night, after his bottle, he dozed off in my arms and I was just staring at him while we rocked...he peeped his little eyes open a bit and I smiled down at him and he gave me the biggest grin back and closed his little eyes again. It made me laugh and warmed my heart at the same time. I am trying to hang on to every second of his babyhood, even the late night feedings, because I know how fast it goes by....
