Darren reached two milestones in his law career over the weekend. First, we travelled to Vancouver, BC were he was sworn in as a member of the Bar in that province. We took all the kids with us - we thought it would be good for them to get a little insight into what their Dad actually does for work. Darren wore his legal robes to the ceremony - just like all the other lawyers. The girls were saying - dad's wearing a dress today. They sat very patiently through the ceremony and when it was time to clap - Chelsea joined in and started cheering - "Dad won! He won!" It was a very formal ceremony - he had to bow to the judge whom they call "My Lord" here in Canada, take an oath and sign something. (I'm sure this has a name but you'll have to google if you really want to know it) Then we went back to the hotel so Darren and the girls could change out of their dresses. Darren was checking his email and found out that back in Calgary - he's been invited to be a partner at the law firm he works for. Even Darren was excited. Vancouver was great - it's good to be home to get ready for Christmas. We'd been home about and hour when Cala started asking - "What are we going to do fun today." Ummmm - we did it.

Congratulations!!!! Sounds like a great weekend. And tell Darren he wears a dress very well :)
You should have told her that next, Dad was going to try on other dresses in the house. That would have been SUPER fun.
Congrats to Darren! And to you for being a partner's wife. My question is does he also get a wig to go with the robes?
Love what kids think is "fun" and Darren looks very professional, I'm impressed.
Congrats to both of you - you know these men can't do it without us! :) Really, though, it is fabulous. I love that dad and the girls got to wear the dresses! You have the greatest little family.

Congrats Darren! Love the "dress". And even cuter that the girls started yelling "Dad won!" How funny.
Your kids are darling. Curios to know if the tree light bulbs are finished or if you have a new tree?!
