Photo printing...

 I've finally decided to print "some" pictures to put up in my home.  It's a tough job when there are so many pictures to chose from!!  I'm also don't like clutter, so have never ventured into hanging up pictures all over the house - dust collectors!  But I have reached a point in life, where I've realised that photos are important to me and I want to be surrounded by pictures of the people and places and things that I love.  So, these are just a "few" of the pictures you might see when you visit one day in the not-too-distant future.  And yes, my house is going to be cluttered!

Waiting patiently for his race to start...

Granddad's birthday...

My sister's 30th birthday - hard to believe this was nearly 5 years ago, Jo!!

 A sweet moment with Uncle Paul at the Junior Argus a couple of years ago...

 The braai master, who's hands and feet are just like his father's...

 Harvest 2012 - helping to pick grapes at Buitenverwachting...

 That cute little face has changed so much over the years - this picture feels like yesterday.  We were visiting our good friends in Augrabies and this was on the Orange River...

 A funny moment with his Uncle Gareth...

 We were regular visitors to the Two Oceans Aquarium.  Jake used to hop on the ledge and watch the sharks and fish for ages...

There are so many more to chose from and some of these I won't use, but most of them I will.  I've decided to include pictures of animals and places too, they're all part of our adventure.  I'm also thinking about printing some on canvass.  It'll be a real mix-match of pictures.  I'm not going to print from any earlier in Jake's life, besides one or two of him with Jacques.  There will be a gap, but I'm trying to keep it a little more current.  What you think??
