Happy first anniversary to Team Oswald!  This time last year, we were blessed to have family and friends with us in NY on our very special day.  Thank you to everyone that was there then and those whom have continued on in this journey with us.  We are very grateful to have you in our lives.  Here is to many more years to come!  :)

We kicked off the day by sleeping in.  Just this week the weather has begun to change her tune.  The autumnal equinox came and it is as if bella Napoli heard the call for cold, wet days and nights.  Our house is now chilly and pouring rain is now on/off at any given moment.  Warm blankets have come out of the cupboards, the tea kettle is on standby, and our firewood basket looks to be filled.

We went to Mass on base and it was kind of an "off day" for us both.  I fumbled getting the offering basket to the 7 y/o girl next to me and it found the floor with all the money falling into the pews.  Stephen bumped into a woman and they spilled the Eucharist.  Let's just say that we had some smooth moves on our anniversary.  Lord, have mercy.  :)

After some errands, we went downtown for dinner to my favourite pizza place which was inexplicably closed, so we ended up at the sushi/teppanyaki joint we like.  It is quite fitting, considering Stephen took me to a teppan place in So-Cal on our first date so long ago.  :D  We ordered a ton of food, including some to take home with us to enjoy the next day.

AND at the end of our meal, the teppan chef starting cooking up a big batch of salmon.  Stephen &amp; I exchanged looks as the fish hit the grill surface.  I have a serious infatuation with salmon and evidently our baby does too...we both felt him/her move.  Welcome to the anniversary celebration, Baby.  Salute (cheers)!
