New Colours

Janne and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary (we've actually been together for more than 9 years) this past Saturday. The 15th of September is the actual date, so it was the first time it fell on a Saturday since the very sunny, warm and beautiful day we got married. We had an incredible meal at Ged's Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge in Brantford - and it was quite possibly the best meal we've ever had out together. Awesome restaurant (but bring lots of money - greatness doesn't come cheap)! We hope to go back for Anniversary #7. A really quite perfect restaurant experience is very rare - and no, they're not paying me to say this. If you ever swing by Brantford, though, you should go. It's worth it.
I also managed to keep where we were going a surprise from her right up until the time we pulled into the parking lot, which is a rare thing with her - or any member of her family, for that matter.
Happy Anniversary to my sweetheart. If it weren't for Janne wanting babies so badly, we wouldn't have these incredible, bright, loving, intelligent, beautiful - and, thankfully - healthy children. I'll always be grateful for her persistence and willingness to try anything necessary to take us from 'just a couple' to a family. To all those other 'just a couple's out there: If you're committed to staying together for the rest of your lives, start enhancing the rest of those lives with children sooner rather than later. It will take the focus off yourselves (which - trust me - is a good thing), give you a whole new perspective, and add colurs to your life you didn't know existed.

Not a lot more words for you today - mostly pictures. I just thought the babies looked incredibly cute at their play table, creating a few new colours and pictures of their own in the following shots.




It's not all about play, however. They apparently also like to take a moment to browse the deals in Wal-Mart's Baby Days Flyer. Mommy took this shot after having relinquished the flyer with pictures of Pooh and so many other baby-enticing things. Unfortunately, Mommy found that the advertised Pooh creatures in the flyer really sucked when she saw them in the store. Darned flyer photographers make everything look better than it really is.
