40 years of marriage

2 children

1 son-in-law

1 grandson

and a bit of grey hair

PRICELESS!

holy smokers, batman! my parents had their 40th wedding anniversary this weekend, and we celebrated with dinner at hy's! if (er, i mean, WHEN) i make it to 40 years of marriage, and if i look 1/2 as good as my parents do now, i'll be in great shape! my parents have an active social life (they go out more than chris and i ever did!), they have season tickets to the theatre and the bc lions, last year they went to japan for 3 weeks with their friends and then to alaska with us on the cruise, they're planning for their next trip (perhaps the UK and France?) in the spring or fall, and they babsit gabe 4 days a week (and once in a while during the evenings so chris and i can go to canucks games, or on saturdays so i can get some errands done!).

back to the dinner celebration...it was gabe's first time in a fancy restaurant, and he was a superstar! he sat in his highchair from start to finish, with only a couple of outbursts. we had lots of treats for him, and he was entertained with the anniversary card, chris' iphone, and my itouch. gabe's definitely techno-savy...he's figured out how to slide the ipods to turn them on, and he's able to manipulate some of the games now.

toddlers these days are just too smart!
