This year was a big year/month for anniversaries in the Mitchell Family. Mary and Leon celebrated 60 years of wedded bliss. Not only is it amazing to have both spouses live long enough to see 60 years, but even more amazing to to stay together that long. Mary wanted family pictures taken. The last pictures were taken 10 years ago for their 50th. I'd say it was about time. I was overly impressed at how photos turned out. Kincaid is a very photogenic kid :) It's going to be hard to narrow down my purchase.
That night we went out for a nice meal. We got to hear stories and memories of their marriage and family. Family is a top priority to Mary and Leon and the memories showed it.
I took a few pics of my own.
Mike and Barb celebrated "40 freakin' years". Barb's words, not mine. We celebrated by spending the weekend at Honey Creek Resort. All 4 of the kids and families, Mike & Barb, and Mary & Leon spent a wonderful weekend at the water park, around a fire, biking, eating, playing and running (ok, maybe just me). It was great spending so much time together. That hardly ever happens unless it's a holiday. It's fun to see the cousins play together. They are lucky to have each other.
Time really does fly. In the word of Ferris Bueller "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Last but not least, Alison and Brandon celebrated their first year of marriage. They are doing an incredible job of raising their 4 girls.
Family really truly is a gift.
