Happy Anniversary to Us!

9.08.2008

Happy 4 year anniversary to us! Its hard to believe we've been here four years. When we left Canada four years ago to come here, we thought we would be back in Canada this fall. All the more reason why we decided to really celebrate this anniversary in style.

For the parents' celebration enjoyment we all went out to eat to the first restaurant we found here with American cuisine. French Fries, hamburgers, and Chicken tenders were on the menu and we had a great time. Funny to think the first time we ate there (when we visited here 5 1/2 years ago) we only had Sophie, then the next time we ate there we only had the two girls, and now celebrating we got to include Benjamin....It may not seem like a big deal to you guys, but for people who, in a sense, live as nomads, this kind of constancy is pretty great!

So going out to eat isn't the kids idea of celebrating (they'd rather have store-bought frozen chicken nuggets!), we took them to a play park known as "Koala Park" and no, we haven't moved to Australia. They had a super time and hopefully will remember this anniversary for a while to come!

The tremendous threesome enjoying some outside time (without the threat of being rundown by crazy drivers!)

Speaking of crazy drivers...Benjamin behind the wheel, watch out world!

Peek-a-boo, Annie! Perfect example of Annie's personality--live life with abandon and to the utmost!

Hug a tree? No, hug a Koala! Sophie is a real animal lover and couldn't resist giving this Koala statue a big hug.

Thanks for celebrating this anniversary with us! We couldn't thrive here without you!
