alternate title: Happy Anniversary to us!
We've been married half a decade.
For our 5th anniversary we spent the morning hiking and the afternoon at the National Arboretum. (We planned on having Bradshaw in the hiking pack but he walked over 3 miles. Go b-boy!)
We had twice the reason to celebrate because, just in time for our anniversary, the mailman delivered a very special package: our adoption decree!!! Olivia is officially and legally our little girl! Hooray! We are so happy.

I'm so lucky to have spent these five years with the love of my life! Each anniversary has been better than the last, and the years keep getting better and better. I'm excited to spend this next year in Chicago with my sweet wife.
Congrats about Olivia!! I can not imagine a happier home to be a part of.
Val- did you cut your long hair? Your ponytail seems shorter...
YAY!!!
I am so so in love with Olivia's huge smiles but also a wee bit heartbroken that I haven't seen her in so long. Must remedy that :)
I LOVE that Bradshaw still pumps his little arms to generate propulsion.
CONGRATS Jacksons...what an awesome family.
Happy Anniversary! :) And happy adopting. :) I LOVE that picture of Dustinn and Bradshaw in the water. Olivia is so cute!
Happy Anniversary! Such a happy family :) I love Bradshaw's arm pump and that first picture of Olivia is to DIE for.
@Dani
I did cut it; I like it better long, so I'm waiting for it to grow out. :)
Know any super hair growth techniques?
@Stef
Totally agree about that first picture of Olivia. It's my new favorite.
Valery, Valera! The picture with Lila and the sun glasses? I almost thought that I was standing behind her.. twinners, what? :)
I want to see more pictures of your hair!
I know I've already commented but I must say- every now and then I wish I had a Mac. This isn't helped by how incredibly cute your kids are/ I've changed my background 3 times today! I cannot decide which picture to stick with.. and a Mac would allow me to have multiple that switch out. Anyways- tell your kids to stop photogenic so my decision making will be easier. haha
Happy Anniversary and congrats on your official adoption paperwork! Beautiful photos...and such adorable children!
I love you guys! Congrats on the anniversary and on official adoption! Those pics of Olivia sitting and smiling are to die for. What a beautiful family!
Thank you for coming to stay with us in NJ before you departed out West. We are going to miss you guys terribly. Great pictures, Bradshaw looks like he loved exploring. We love you! -- Dad
Thanks for letting us visit Dad! We're going to miss being within visiting distance. It's been great to spend time with the family in New Jersey.
Wow I can't believe how big she is getting! I loved the new pictures. HOw do you like Texas? Such great pictures.
Val, I love the pics of Olivia and Bradshaw! I love catching up with you guys on the blog! I have been out of it for a while, but have recently started to catch up.. Hope you guys are doing well! Love ya!
