Hi! Well, it's been a while... I wonder if anyone still pops past here to see if I've posted anything? You still there? Sorry for those of you who do and have had to wait for me to come back from holiday to get back to blogging... it's been a long, wonderful break! Work finished up for me on 13 December and I only came back to the office on the 6th. Jake goes back to school next Wednesday, after nearly 6 weeks off. It's been a great break and we've spent almost all our time in Blaauwberg at Marius' house with him and his boys. He's been lucky to have them for most of the holidays too, which was great for Jake. You wouldn't believe how much he misses Michael and Cameron on the weekends that they're with their mom. Marius was off most of the time I was on leave too, so we really had a lot of time to enjoy being on the beach with our boys.
One of their favourite things to do at the moment is to go boating. Jake and Cameron are still a little nervous, but Michael loves to go wave ramping and he seems to spend more time falling out of the boat then staying in it. Marius has lived in Blaauwberg since he was 4 and after his dad died, he bought over the family home. He knows the sea as if it were his own personal pool in his back yard and its great for him to be able to pass on his knowledge and love of the water on to the kids...
Wave ramping...
Blaauwberg's waters are known to be cold - 9 deg C is warm, so I use the excuse that I don't have a wet suit, to stay on dry ground. Besides that, some one's got to take the photos...
This year we had 2 trees to get up. Jake and Michael weren't that keen to help us at Marius' house, but Cameron was a great help and full of beans for the camera...
The Little Christmas Elf...
Peace out for Christmas...
We got the tree up at our house the next morning. It was just Jake and I...
Stay posted for pictures of our mini-break in 42 deg C Clanwilliam!
Love,
