8th Wedding Anniversary!

I went for chit-chat group this morning. The topic today was about wedding/marriage. This group of ladies are the mums from Matthew's school with a mixture of mainly French and American with a few others from England, Japan, India, New Zealand and of cos Singapore. I enjoyed this group as they talked about different things/cultures in their countries in French and English. It gives me the opportunity to speak and hear French.

Anyway, back to the topic - wedding. In the group, we shared about the different traditions in the respective countries about how they prepared the wedding, the making of the wedding gown and some brought along their wedding albums. Unlike us, most of them don't have an album like those taken in the studio. They would only have their photos taken on the wedding days itself like in the olden days either in the park, studio or church. I didn't have my album with me but only a few pictures. I love my photos, they looks great and till now... I still have great impression of my big day!

We had just celebrated our 8th wedding Anniversary 2 weeks ago at Bordeaux. It seems like we had just gotten married yesterday and now it's into 9th year of marriage. God has been graceful to us. He had great purpose for us in our lives of expatriation ever since we got married. It has been a wonderful experience.

March update!

Matthew has started taking kiddy gym classes (age 3 to 6) every Wednesday since Sept. He was a little reluctant initially and cried for a few times (esp. after a vacation break). But after insisting for a while, he finally likes it now! He can do “stunts” like somersault and balancing on beam. He enjoys it more and more and looks forward to it. They do lots of jumps and rolls, balancing and stunts that looks easy but not so for the little ones. I'm so glad he's happy to do it now!
