Ok, ok, i know it has been an age since I last updated the blog, but it's been BUSY !
- first there was Xmas - we spent a lovely day with the Marnitz's and another SA family
- then New Years' - had a fish braai with the Lamprechts - a quite one - home by 10.30 - i know, boring !
- deon was off work for 2 weeks over that time - it was great to have him home and we spent alot of time on the beach, diving, fishing and just enjoying the Northland summer
- then january - which has been busy with trying to keep the noodle and Renette's kids occupied and stimulated - no playcentre or school until 2 Feb .... so we spent days going for walks thru forests, playing in parks, at streams, and rivers with ducks, going to the library, playing on the slippy slide (yes, they still make them), kids making home made pizza and eating it and so forth and so on.....
- Ryan's (Renette's youngest) 1st birthday also happened in Jan
- and deon has been feeding the neighbourhood stray cats so now they came visit - much to david's pleasure
- we also have had a real kiwi bbq - a guy deon works with invited us to his house and david enjoyed the sausages and hamburger patties that were offered and then he helped Catherine decorate the pavlova for pudding :)
- deon has caught some great fish over the last few days, Monday was a holiday here - so he fished Saturday all day, Sunday in the morning and all day Monday with Pieter (renette's husband) - lots of fishing and he is loving it !!
I will really try keep you updated more regularly but the next few months are going to be even more busy, Deon's american friend, Ted arrives next week for a quick 2 week visit and then Deon's mom arrives just after that and is staying for 6 weeks - Yipppeee - i am so excited for her arrival and am so looking forward to having her here and showing her all the wonderful things that are now part and parcel of our lives and of course, the Noodle is thrilled Granny Deanny is coming soon !!
Hope you are all well - please send news back
Cheers
