The 1st Decade

It's inevitable that every June

two things

will happen.

1.

We take our annual

Norton Family Picture

and

2.

Another year in our most eventful marriage

is celebrated.

This year we completed our very

first decade!!

wow!

"A wedding anniversary is the celebration of

love,

trust,

partnership,

tolerance,

and tenacity.

The order varies for any given year!"

~Paul Sweeney~

I really don't know how we got here!

Sometimes I sit and watch my lil family,

the kids laughing and playing together,

Chris cook'n in the kitchen,

the baby slobber'n all over a favorite toy.....

and try to figure out how and when it all happened.

How did 10 years go by so fast?

How did we accumulate 4 small humans?

How are we in our

30's???

However it happened,

I am so blessed!!

I'm grateful for Chris.

Thankful for his patience and love.

Happy to have him for eternity.

I love each of the 4 blessings that came into our lives!!

And on so many occasions pray for the

patience

to raise these blessings.

Norton Family Picture

2010

The little clan is growing!

My guys!

One of my all time

favorite pictures.

Bubba looks like a miniature man in his vest and tie.

So handsome!

Me and my girls!!

Family pictures a short

2 and a half months after a baby

is never a fun thing.

'Nuf said!!

I can't get over how beautiful these two are getting.

Everyday, more and more beautiful.

It's scary!!

If this is what the first decade brought me.....

I can't wait for the second!!
