August 16th, 2002 my dear husband & I got married in the beautiful Upper Peninsula Michigan at our
University Parish,
St. Albert the Great, in
Houghton (pronounced "Ho-tun" - think: Upper (Yooper) Accent = thick Canadian/Finnish/Northern accent) where we met.
We had a nice day with our little family. We have been taking the kids to the local YMCA park a few times in the past couple weeks so that John can give them a tennis lesson! They had their 3rd lesson this morning. I'm so happy that John can share his great gift & talent of playing tennis with our children.
Two days ago when we announced it's going to be our wedding anniversary the kids asked if they could make us gifts. I said 'sure! but you know.....you children are the biggest gift of our marriage'. God certainly has blessed us with a fruitful marriage (; The kids gave us their gifts of drawings tonight & they were so happy & proud to share them! Vianne was especially happy to have drawn her mama, papa, & herself....which is only about the 3rd time she has drawn 'people'.
I'll sign off with this quote:
"Mankind's future rests in, and depends upon, the family more than any other society, institution, or environment. " Pope John Paul II
+JMJ+ pray for us
