A growing bunch...

 

 We had dinner at my mom's house on the 20th of August to celebrate Rosie's 30th birthday.  How did that happen???  I was 8 when she was born (don't do the maths, I'm still 27!) and can remember it all so clearly.  I can see her tiny squishy face and I loved (still do) so much.  She was just too cute and she tagged along with us where ever we could take her.  She's all grown up now and more beautiful than ever and such a wonderful, gentle mommy to Rylee.  Her birthday was a good excuse to get an updated picture of the four kids together.  We aren't all together often enough.

It's not easy taking photos of 4 kids... Jake has learned just to look and smile, no matter what, but it's tricky when the rest of them are still learning the ropes...

 I kinda gave up after this...

 Just one last one of Jake and Rylee.  It's funny how similar they look sometimes and yet how very different.  Rylee is so like his dad, Gareth and yet so like his mom too...

 Last Sunday saw us doing the Sunflower Fund Fun Walk in Sea Point.  The weather was fantastic and we all enjoyed getting out for a while - summer is on the way...

 Gorgeous boys...

 YAY!  There's one of Jake and I together...

 There were a lot of people, so it was very festive...

 Jake with Marius and Cam (Michael was sick)...

 Mom and dad...

 Smiley Rylee aka Gogga...

 Jake enjoying the time away from TV...

 We walked all along the promenade...

  A flat, flat sea...

 Rosie and Gareth, who have just recently signed the transfer papers on their house, which they've been renting from me - a huge congratulations to them and yay for me...

 Doesn't this boy just have the most beautiful eyes...

 Jake landed up running most of the way, so he met me at the finish line again, with an ice-cream... 

 All done!  My dad was treated in the sunflower ward.  He had his bone marrow transplant done in 1998, so this is a very happy walk for us...

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

Love,
