Happy Anniversary! The numbers look good . . . Sounds like 7 years well spent.

Fun picture. Hope you two had a great anniversary. I think you need to go back to Minnesota next year (in the fall not the spring) and visit the St. Paul temple.

Very fun post. Congrats on 7 years! That is a lot of chocolate milk. Maybe if I added chocolate milk to the grocery list I could get my youngest to drink milk:)

I think 270 was a pretty high estimate but adding some to white milk has made all the difference in getting both kids to drink milk...
