I had no intention of blogging today. In actual fact I have barely been near my laptop today instead I have been preparing for and celebrating man-child’s almost birthday. Despite being insanely tired I decided to check emails in bed. Of course on my way to gmail I stopped by and checked my reader to be reminded of the 4th of July celebrations that are taking place.
Well 4 years ago, during the early hours on the 4th of July, this was us, just landed at Newark and on our way to our new life.
- Just Landed
We celebrated the 4th of July 2004 exploring our new home. I remember exploring our new home, visiting typically American chain stores being astounded by the 4th of July clothing that we just had to have, finding parks for the kids to play in, eating at chain restaurants and not getting the whole tipping etiquette and generally being exhausted after 2 tremendously long flights with a 21 month old who refused to sleep at all.
It was all terribly exciting and then it all went horribly wrong. That aside, Happy 4th.

You have to tell that story. I am intrigued.
