i just want to celebrate

May has been a  month of celebration for me.  Special K says I must think of it as "the month of me."  It's a celebratory month, sure, but there have been a lot of things to celebrate this month not just my birthday (but yes, that was really great!). 

Every time I skein my newly plied yarn, I feel like I am celebrating a little bit of success (have I mentioned how much I love "making yarn" with a drop spindle?  It's magic, people). 

So, celebrating new skills, that has been big this month.
 
I got a chance to celebrate being a mother (as most mothers did this month).

That was pretty cool (but maybe not as cool as standing all by yourself).

And really, I got a chance to celebrate childhood. Not just my own, which is (in some small way) part of a birthday celebration, but also Little Sir's. 

He has a lot of fun, and I have fun watching him do the kid thing.

And it's always fun celebrating not being just a mom, but also a wife.

So, celebrating family, if you will.

As May comes to a close, I find there is one more thing to celebrate.  It's the whole wife thing again.  Special K and I have a wedding anniversary coming up this weekend.  That's a reason to celebrate, right?  Unfortunately, Special K isn't going to be around this weekend, so that means I have to celebrate alone...or do I?  How about I celebrate with you?  Contests are very celebratory, so let's do that. 

Here's how it goes, leave your guess as to which wedding anniversary Special K and I are celebrating (or how many years we will have been married) in the comments of this post.  You have till Sunday (the 27th) 0600/ 6:00 a.m. EST to enter.  I will draw a name from those who answer correctly.  And just to be sporting, if you received an invitation to my wedding, then you can't play...that just wouldn't be fair, now would it.  Winner gets a gift package o' fun (you know, yarn and other stuff).

So, please excuse me while I go and celebrate...another day of living...

I will guess your upcoming anniversary is to celebrate 6 years of marriage. Little Sir is so cute. Wish my babies were babies still.

Let's see...I am guessing it was year 2000 - so that would make this year #7! Am I right!?

[Ambrrr]

Oh man, Little Sir is too cute! That last picture has me in stitches, he's just too adorable.

Hm... I'm going to guess you're on year #7. That seems like a goodly number. I mean, it's the copper and wool anniversary!

what a great post! may is a great month - the coming of spring, my birthday, the month hubby and I met - just happy times. hopefully the feeling will last through June too!

Hmm - I'm going to guess 4 years...

I love these pictures. Especially the one of Little Sir getting tossed in the air -- sometimes I wish I were still small enough for someone to do that to me!

I'm going to guess you've been married 4 years. Happy anniversary!

[Kim]

You have the best photos of you and your family! I am guessing 7 years. You can celebrate another day - every day is another day worth celebrating, if it's with your sweetie!

[diana]

I agree, May is a wonderful month to celebrate. I'll guess 5 years of wedded bliss for you and Special K.

[beth]

I love May as well! My first born was born a week before Mother's Day, and one of the other kids was a week after Mother's Day.

I think you are having your sixth anniversary this year.

[Asaknitter]

Happy anniversary, birthday, Mother's Day, new skills - all rolled into one! Sounds like May is your kind of month.

[pamela wynne]

[kathy]

I didn't get a wedding invitation (seeing as how I was underway at the time), but I did get pictures, so I won't play. Where do you keep the quilt you gave Special K? You should put up the pic to show everyone your many talents... you have skills woman! Happy Anniversary! Happy Birthday! Happy Little Sir!
