More Anniversary
Since our wedding and adoption anniversaries fall on the same day (August 18), we carefully plan how to celebrate both. Concordia had their day-long faculty retreat on August 18, so we took the kids out on the 17th. That way we'd return home before it got too late in the evening for Kola.The children began our 20th wedding anniversary celebration by making breakfast for us on Tuesday morning. Any meal prepared by the children is great, but this one actually tasted good, too. It reminded me of the breakfasts we had eaten in Ukrainian hotels, which included lots of protein (two eggs, cold cuts, cheese) but no milk!
Jonathan and I planned to eat at a nice restaurant on Wednesday, August 18; the provost even gave him a pass on the evening dinner of the faculty retreat "as long as [Jonathan] took [me] to a nicer restaurant than the one for the faculty." Unfortunately, Kola got a fever that day, so we had to cancel our babysitter and therefore the outing. Surprise gifts, including an ice cream cake in our wedding colors(!), helped me feel better.
Jonathan and I rescheduled for Thursday night, and we had a quiet evening dinner together. We managed to talk about the kids only part of the time!
