Happy Anniversary, Storches!

Happy Anniversary! Aw shucks, what a Sweet Post.

I am always sad when I hear people talk about how having children has made their marriage more stressful. Arun has enriched ours and made us complete.

Happy Anniversary. I have been reading you for a long time but I think this is the first time I have commented. We were pregnant at the same time and your stories always brightened my bed rest days. Your little boy is honestly the most adorable baby boy I have ever seen. I can say that and mean it since I had a girl.

Posted by: bellabugs_mom | August 08, 2006 at 01:06 PM

So sweet! Happy Anniv!

Posted by: MK | August 08, 2006 at 01:07 PM

Awwww. Happy Anniversary!

Posted by: Sonja | August 08, 2006 at 01:10 PM

Just FYI, your comments are screwing up a bit. The one I posted came through as "Kim", just above my post. I am sure it's bc you are so popular and everyone is in a commenting frenzy. Absolutely love your blog.

Posted by: bellabugs_mom | August 08, 2006 at 01:10 PM

Happy Anniversary! Such a sweet post, full of mushiness and cuteness and, yeah, your hair looks hot!

Posted by: e. | August 08, 2006 at 01:10 PM

Happy Anniversary to such a beautiful family!

Posted by: Nancy | August 08, 2006 at 01:27 PM

Happy Anniversary! This post is putting a lump in my throat and making me realize that maybe I should appreciate how awesome my hubby is, rather than getting pissed because he doesn't help with the dishes more. . .

And by the way, Amalah, your hair is absolutely luminous and stunning. If I didn't like you so much, I'd hate you for your golden perfection. ;-)

Posted by: Tara | August 08, 2006 at 01:35 PM

total sweetness! happy anniversary!!!

Posted by: jennster | August 08, 2006 at 01:35 PM

Gorgeous, all of you. Happy Anniversary to you and Jason!

Happy anniversary to ALL of US, but especially you and Jason! (it's your blog and all)
