Happy anniversary, guys! So glad I was able to be there for the wedding and share your special day. You have certainly been busy over the past few years -- and it's obvious how much your love continues to grow. All our love to you both, and the little ones, too. Hopefully we can get together again before you're off for your next adventure.
I'm exhausted just reading about it.
Happy Anniversary you two! Can't wait to hear where you're going next!
Hi guys
So lovely to chat to you the other day Jo. I love that photo of you and Deric on your wedding day!!!!
Love the snow pics, Kai looks gorgeous in pink and with her little hat on.
Can't wait to meet Kai and Dev - shocking that is over 2 years since I last saw you. Actually 3 years!!! Who ever would have thought, eating cake mixture under the stage, that we would live oceans apart.
Miss you loads
Love
Tash
Great update. I am totally doing that next month for our 6 year anniversary. Happy anniversary! Can you believe you have two kids? Wow! Thanks so much for the updates and the honesty. It soothes me to read your parenting comments about having two kids. I am very nervous about the transition. Thanks!
