Happy 4th Birthday Addie!

Happy Birthday to the world's best dog, our first daughter, the illustrious Addison Jane ("Sophia") Tolerico.  May the next year be filled with long walks, lots of treats, many sticks and lots of good naps.

Happy Birthday Addie!

Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it, but Mike and I got married in Vail five years ago.  We've been through a lot, but I wouldn't trade a minute of it.  I love getting to share this big adventure with my best friend.  Mike keeps me laughing, thinking and cleaning and I love him more than I ever thought I could.  We are more different than I knew and more alike than we like to admit.  He is more than I ever dared to hope for and for that, I am grateful.

We used to celebrate our anniversary by going back to the Ritz in Beaver Creek (woo-hoo for off season specials!), but since times and locations have changed, we settled for a babysitter and dinner out.  We had a great, long, fancy dinner together and got to talk for hours like we used to.  Then, to cap the night off, I fell down the stairs right in the center of town, in front of about 30 people, on a busy Saturday night.  Perfect!

Some pictures from then and now:

I love you, Mikey...
