10 years!!!

***I started this post many days ago, but am just going to go ahead and post without updating time references***

The next few posts are going to be a bit out of order, but I haven't uploaded pictures from the other camera so I will start with our weekend away...
Ricardo and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last Wednesday. He took the day off and we had a really special day. We had a daytime babysitter for all three kids, for the first time. We went out to a wonderful Italian lunch and then to buy a few things at Ikea for our party on Friday night.
On Friday, we renewed our wedding vows which was unbelievably special. I will write about that in a separate post, with pictures and all. For now, I will share about our 2nd honeymoon...
On Saturday morning, Jasmine (my dear friend, Ruth's sister in law)arrived to help my mom take care of the kids for the weekend. My mom is awesome with Diego and Alexia, but we did not want her to go crazy having all three kids, so we asked Jasmine to come be Marco's nanny for the weekend. I have been pumping milk for the past few weeks and had collected quite a stash, but I was really nervous about him taking the bottle well and sleeping well for her...more to come on that later...suffice to say he did amazingly well!
So, Ricardo and I took off around 11am on Saturday and started our getaway with a stop for lunch at a great sushi restaurant. From there we made the drive to Serenbe, a fabulous community a little over an hour away. For our first night there, we had a great little apartment in the community and our second night was in a cottage, near the Inn. Our time there was wonderful. We went on long walks, ate delicious food, relaxed and just took it easy. It was such a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary and have a really special time to reconnect and have time alone.
