Seven years ago today, two were wed as one; now they are five and we... we... we get to eat pizza

Seven years ago today, my family, plus Lavina's and many other relatives and friends gathered together a short distance up the mountains just above Flagstaff, Arizona and it was snowing. There Jacob and Lavina exchanged their vows and became one.

Now they are five.

And we... Margie and I... are so much more than we ever imagined possible.

We had their three sons, our grandsons, with us over the weekend. The idea was to give Jacob and Lavina some time to get out and celebrate, go do some downhill skiing at Aleyska or cross country skiing at Hatcher's Pass. Instead, they gave the boys' bedroom a new paint job and did some other fixing up around the house.

Today, their anniversary, they came to pick up their boys and to snatch our grandsons away from us once again, but it was okay because they brought pizza.

The pizza was damn good.
