Happy 30th from Anthony, Brooke, Andrew, and Matthew!

I’ve been lucky enough to celebrate the last 8 years with you.
Here’s a look at what you’ve done:

From our early days…
Dating, day of engagement, your graduation,
NY during the (long) 2 month engagement, wedding in Salt Lake, Honeymoon in Cancun,
Summer in Colorado, 2002 Winter Olympics in Park City, my Graduation

…kid-free life in California…
GG bridge, Yosemite, Hawaii,
Triathlons, fishing the Sierras, Whistler,
Giants games, climbing Mt. Shasta, San Diego.

…then big changes: leaving jobs, moving (multiple times), new friends. Did I mention 3 kids?
The torpedo, twins arrive, Brookes first tanning session, much needed nap time,
baby blessing, summer in Rockridge, back to Evanston (andour window), 1-yr B-day,
Vail trip and pregnant again!, more pregnant, Matthew joins us, another graduation,
Summer on the beach, bye bye Kellogg, bye bye Chicago, hello St. George

Across the Atlantic and all over Europe…
Milan, Nice, Monte Carlo, Cinque Terra, Pisa,
Venice, Rotenburg, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg,
Louvre in Paris, Eifel tower, Rome with the Framptons, Lech, Chamonix,
Caribbean (Eurodisney), Gamma Quadrant, cooking in Florence, Fussen, Venice,
Lido, Verona, Verzasca, London, Big Ben

…exploring Switzerland…
Interlaken, Rhein Falls, Lugano,
Luzern, Arosa, Montreux,
Zermatt, Engelberg (winter), Engelberg (summer)

…and just enjoying good times close to home…
2nd birthday, bumper cars at Swiss miniature, lounging around, work Christmas party,
sledding, throwing rocks in the Zugersee, hopp schweiz!, frolicking near Pride Rock,
rapeseed fields, learning about dandelions, pushing the stroller, reading to the kids,
changing diapers on the fly, 4th of July celebration, the zoo, Sunday walks

We love you and are looking forward to many more fun-filled years to come. Happy 30th.
