Our Trip Around the World

We left the States on Wednesday and arrived in Sydney Friday morning. The kids were so good on the airplane and actually slept quite well. Good thing, because when you travel with Colby and me, there is not time for relaxing, it is go, go, go. We like to see as much as we can on foot. Here are a few pictures from our first couple of fun days in Sydney before heading to Canberra to work.

I am adding a little to this post many days later. The Sydney Harbour is one of the most spectacular sights I have ever seen ... it is absolutely breathtaking. The harbour comes in from the ocean and then breaks off into many smaller "finger" harbours. There are so many little secluded beaches and it is beautiful. We had a chance to take the ferry to Manly Beach and Shelly Beach and here are a few pictures of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

President's Day Weekend

Over President's Day weekend, we took a quick trip to Utah to visit family, friends, and ski a little. It was a great, although hurried, trip.

Popcorn

The Manwarings LOVE popcorn. When Colby and I were first married, I soon learned that Sunday popcorn was a family tradition. I quickly took it upon myself to try and make really yummy popcorn for him (aren't I just the doting & loving wife). I airpop the corn and then layer the butter and salt as the popcorn is popped. So YUMMY! Colby even took the tradition a little further by having popcorn every night at about 10:30 pm. You can always count on that smell at our house late at night.

Toothless Grins

The kids have all been losing their teeth like crazy lately and their toothless grins are so cute. Annika was so excited last week to finally lose her first tooth so I am finally posting pictures of their adorable grins. Needless to say, the toothfairy has been very busy.
