May 5th

May 5th is a big day in California. Cinco de Mayo involves huge celebrations of Mexican pride. It also happens to be the day Marty proposed to me. In the past it was neat for Marty and I to celebrate Cinco de Mayo California style, with margaritas and a Mexican dinner. Here in Washington the day seemed to be just like any other, there really wasn't too much civic celebration. Though there was no Mexican fare on the menu today in the Dillard house we were all feeling sentimental. Both boys were born on the 5th so we were celebrating Bryce's 8th month, we took the boys to get professional pictures, and mostly spent the day remembering how it all began...
