As per tradition we again did a family Christmas photo this year.
We were running out of time, so it was a bit rushed getting it done.
We also tried to make one with a Karate theme. It is a nice photo, it just wasn't christmassy enough.

2004 was the year I started working for Captaris. One of the first things I did was to visit our office in Calgary to learn about our workflow product.
My visit coincided with the Calgary Stampede, so lots of cowboys in town, indians and rodeos. I also too a bus ride up through the Canadian rockies through Banff, Lake Louise and up to the Columbian Ice Fields.

Kim had booked a Christmas show in the State Theatre. It was an okay show, but as she said, it was more for the 'dads' than for the kids due to the costumes.

We have been trying to encourage Aiden and Lucas to once in a while do the cooking. This is so that they know how to cook when they become older and adults.
Lucas is really loving it and Aiden doesn't reapadding-left:10px" class="FacebookShareButton">
In 2004 Australia was being drawn into the war in Iraq. A lot of Australians were opposed to the war, but the politicians wouldn't listen.
On a nice sunny day several hundred thousand people gathered around Hyde park in the middle of the city to demonstrate and express their opinions against Australia entering into the war.
I was of the belief that the war was a mistake in the first place and was totally unjustified, so I was decided to join the demonstrations and at the same time see if I could take a few photos.

Andy and Tink had their first baby...a little (and very hairy) girl names Mia.
This was also one of those periods where I was checking out what it would be like to have a beard.

With EDI I went on a field trip to visit one of the big containerships in Botany Bay.
It was facinating to see the size of those ships.

I celebrated Christmas and New Year with my parents in Thailand.
We spent the time in the Northern Part of Thailand in the Golden Triangle around Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
We rented a car for a couple of days and got to see a lot including all the hill tribes that still to this day live in this part of Thailand.

In 2003 Kenneth got married to Anica. I was asked to be the best man by Kenneth.
The wedding took place at a homestead in Sofala three hours drive west of Sydney.
It was a wonderful weekend surrounded by wonderful people.
