doughnuts

this is my mum and dad a few years ago on their wedding day (i wore mum's dress at my wedding ceremony). dad (tezza) turned 60 last weekend.

i think he enjoyed the night.

i did too. the food was great. it was awesome spending time with the family. 

my dad is great. this is a perfect photo of him. 

 sydney has had tim and i twice over the past week- once for dad's party on the weekend and another trip up to on wednesday for a trip to the temple, a bondi burger at oporto, train to the city, visit to ikea and mcdonalds. it was a good day.

ikea is a wonderful place. unfortunately they were doing their room changes so quite a bit of the rooms were under construction. we ate doughnuts, a hotdog and a pizza pocket all for $5. timmy spoke to an absolutely adorable japanese kid in japanese while we ate our $1 hotdog. this will be our japanese fix as our trip was cancelled due to the terrible disasters. still hard to comprehend what is going on all around the world. and makes me feel a little silly about what i consider to be my 'problems'. also makes me happy about the little things like doughnuts and visiting pa at the nursing home on st. patricks day and seeing an old man with a shamrock sticker on his forehead.
