A moment's peace...

Well, Robyn is watching a movie, Jared is sleeping and Quen and Cam have gone off to enjoy some of the Father-Son camp while the weather lasts! The weather is pretty yucky!

So I'm enjoying this moment's peace by checking out facebook quickly and saying hello to my blog! I'm so very proud of myself - I've finally started sewing and I mean really sewing - so far I've mad a variety of little outfits for Robyn's lamb, pyjamas for Cammie and Jared, a tracksuit with cute little frilly additions for a friend's baby girl and now I start on Robyn's pyjamas!!! I rock!!!

Love you all!

More pics...

Moving on...

I'm pathetic, I know - I still haven't done the photos of the house! So I'm moving on to whats been going on the last few days!! I'll get to the house photos EVENTUALLY!!

We arrived back home last night from a wonderful 4 nights in Plettenberg Bay - we were there for Ruan and Veronica's wedding which was absolutely stunning (as Ouma would say!)

We had a great time - went for a delicious breakfast at the Stormsriver Mouth, a boat ride, had fun at the beach, river boat rides, and basically just having a great time!

Quen and I have fallen madly, deeply in love with the Garden Route area. It's really a fantastic place to go on a family holiday and so we're hoping to save up and go on a really great holiday with the kids next year!

Anyway, have a look at some of the photos and enjoy!!

Photos of the house...

I know, I know - I promised ages ago I would take photos of the house and I've still not done it!!!

Will take some tomorrow!!!

Love you all,

Complex kids ...

The last time we lived in a complex was about 9 years ago and Cammie was not even one so I've never experienced the whole complex kid scene, but I am now!

It is quite amazing to see the children of the complex swarm out of their houses at around 4pm, climb on their bikes (all shapes and sizes, from the black bike variety to big mountain bike variety)and ride together.

These are children that have never met before, yet, within minutes they are laughing and playing happily together. It reminds me a bit of what my childhood was like - we played with our next door neighbours, played in the field across the road and occasionally when they were building houses further down our road, we would venture off to play in the enormous heaps of sand - all without our moms worrying that something would happen to us.

But living in a complex also comes with it's challenges - we're having to teach the children that they cannot scream and shout and behave like hooligans (they don't generally behave like hooligans - thank goodness), to think of other people and to be aware of the fact that they can't just run all over other people's gardens! But they're doing well and making us proud!!

Sleep well, friends!

All by myself ...

Well, my dearest Quen has offed and left me alone with the kids for a night for the Young Men's Camp!!! And what have I been doing?

No, not lying in a bath! No, not painting my nails and watching girly movies!

I'm cleaning the house!!!! And in this terrible heat too!!!!!

I must be mad!

We've finally done it...

Yes, we've done it! We've moved out of the flat and we are in our own little 3 bedroom house in a complex in Somerset Ridge. Just down the road from the chapel. I'll take some photos soon, I just want to get a few of our things up - photo frames on the walls, things that personalise the home!

I can't tell you how exciting this is...
