Happy Australiaversary to us!

Today is our third Australiaversary 🇦🇺 As cliche as it is, it's hard to believe it's been three years since we first arrived to Sydney.



Eytan was 8 yrs old and Micah was 5 yrs old; Micah is now the same age Eytan was when we arrived! It's so hard to wrap my head around this.

This photo was from 23 Jan 2017. M wore those shorts
a few days ago and was wearing that shirt this
morning (pictured here on E). M still sleeps with
"kangy" that he picked out that day.

Micah is undoubtedly the most Aussie of all of us, having lived 3/8 of his life Down Under. One of his favourite songs is 'I Am Australian'. It's up for review and debate whether he has an accent; he doesn't sound fully Aussie, nor does he sound fully American (though he skews strongly American). His lingo is undoubtedly Aussie. His love of American sport leaves no doubt which country issued his passport (and who his father is, lol).

Still not sold on vegemite but we keep it in the house for visitors!

Our 18-month adventure has (happily!) turned indefinite. We're finalising materials to submit our application for permanent residency and my once far-off dream of having dual-citizenship may actually come true! Forget an inheritance - Aaron has decided this will be his legacy to our children.

We've figured out driving on the left hand side of the road, we've been in awe of Uluru, we've learnt a new language (and spelling!), marveled at the Reef, explored Tassie, enjoyed The Tennis and so much more!

Our family has evolved in incredible ways and I'm crazy proud of us. Since we're here for the foreseeable future book a flight and come for a visit!
