In 1998, after only a couple of months dating, I took a black sharpie marker and wrote a big “1” on the back of a pumpkin that we had just bought at Eckards Farms near Wash U’s School of Medicine…. because I just knew, there would be more numbers.
Since then, there’s been untold numbers of coffee-shop dates, 1 marriage, 3 joyous childbirths, 6 houses bought, 3 alphabets learned, 37 Halloween outfits sewn, 242,600 Photos taken. But of all of those photos, these are the ones we most cherish.
