Happy birthday, Estonia! :)

Today, on 24th of February, is Estonia's Independence Day!

As I have written previously, both Latvian and Estonian national holidays are very important to us. :) And we are going to keep traditions strongly, and give them to our children as well..

Today is the day to watch TV all day long.. :D Because there's all kinds of good stuff on there.

Right now we are watching the parade. When children (I always talk about them in plural..) are going to be a bit bigger, in couple of years probably, we will go see it live.

But now we can enjoy it in warmth of our home. :)

Estonia seriously is the best country to live in! Lately we understand it more and more.. Of course, things can always be better.. That is normal, that there is room for growth and progress.
But really.. People are equal here, everyone has free or at least available education. If you get a normal education, you can get also a normal job and normal salary.. Yes, there are a lot more rich countries. But life is also more expensive there. Life is quite cheap, affordable here.
I have a 1,5 year long totally paid maternity leave.. And even after that, we can hopefully live just by my Husband's salary, and I can raise our children.
We have a beautiful home with nice and big yard.
There are no volcanoes, no earthquakes, no tornadoes.. Only one poisonous snake. :)
We have 4 beautiful seasons. Temperatures are mostly mild and pleasant, not extremely high nor low.
We have religious and political freedom.
We have one of the most cleanest natures in the world.. Plenty of clean water and forests. And such a beautiful nature!
