May the Force be with You!

Happy Star Wars Day! To those who are not a geeky as us, May 4th is the day where we celebrate all things Star Wars.(May the forth be with you! Get it?) These films have been a major part of our lives since my husband and I were kids and the first (last) 3 movies came out. We have a lot of Star wars stuff, like the Legos.

Seven Years!

Today it has been seven years since we started the Dieter Family blog! It's hard to believe that it has already been that long.
I started this blog when Max was born and we wanted to keep our family's up to date on our activities in Iowa City. We have had so many parties and vacations and happenings since then. Max has kept us busy:

We have gone and seen new places:

We have grown our family by one:

It's amazing to look back and see it all together. I never realized that blogging would capture all those moments big and small. That I would be able look back and be shocked by all the things that happened. I guess it's like digital scrap-booking though it wasn't how I planned it. I can't wait to see what happens over the next seven years, so many changes to come with jobs and schools and trips to go on. I think this deserves a chocolate cake.
