{Looking Back}
As the 3 year anniversary our of adventure in Australia approaches I find myself thinking more about all we've done and how much the kids have grown since our departure from Canada.
Reed was five & Fiona four. The age where we let them loose to navigate the world on their own for portions of the day. I often kid that we're raising Australians. The reality is Fiona has spent more than half her life living outside the U.S. She doesn't remember ever living there.
A few of weeks ago, at the end of the day, I remembered it was the 4th of July and mentioned it to the kids. They asked me, "What's the Fourth of July?" I told my American children, it's a lot like Australia Day but in America.- It was a sobering conversation.
Today as I looked through some old pictures from our final days in Quebec I found a video I made of our last time fishing on the Becancour River in front of our house. (Boy do we miss that place)
Here's that video I made back in July 2011...
.
Reed & Fiona sure have changed since that video was taken- thankfully Ryan has not.
He's still is an extremely present dad, these kids have no idea how lucky they are to have him.
One day they will.
