Rings

Now that our family is complete, we celebrated our anniversary with wedding rings.  They have garnets for Drakeson and opals for Milli, which are our children's birthstones as well as fitting representations of Drakeson the dragon and Millicent the mermaid.  Drakeson has always been our dragon baby, and he decided his sister was a mermaid when he saw her for the first time during her water birth.
We've been L&G ever since March 21st of 2009, when my mom found out we were planning to move in together that May and threw us an L&G party.  She prepared a menu of Lobster, Gruyere, London Broil, Green Beans, Lychee, Grapes, Longan, Ginger, Limeade, Goat-Roti Syrah Viognier 2007, Little Penguin Chardonnay, Gelato, Lotus Tea, and Green Tea.  Little did she know that seven years later we would have another L&G - Lana Millicent Kratzke and George Drakeson Miner.
Looking back at that menu, Mom also wished us a life full of Love and Grace.  Personally, I think love is more important, so I don't try too hard on the grace part.  But you never know.  Maybe it will just sort of happen with age.
