Oupa word 70!

Hennie's Father celebrated his

70th Birthday on the 10th June 2011.

"So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants! Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have been evil. Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!" Psalms 90 : 12-17

Homework space!

We suprized the kids by buying each of them brand new desks with a proper office type chair. They were so happy and just wanted to work and work and work. Kenan already gets lots of homework so he uses it for 'real' work but Kayleigh makes up her own work. She draws pictures and plays she has a desk job. The day after they received the desks she said to Hennie she is now very tired from working in her office. We also gave Kenan an old computer we had. He has some educational games he plays on it.

Justin turns 8!

We got to celebrate Justin's (kids cousin) birthday on the 7th of May.
We went to Emeral Casino's Aquadome. It is an indoor swimming adventure. The kids loved it since the water was warm. Everyone had so much fun. The kids even said afterwards that it was the best party ever!

All geared up!

The kids had lots of fun this school holiday playing cricket in our front yard.

EXACTLY THE SAME TOOTH

We could not believe this! Kenan & Kayleigh's age difference is three years, and yet they lost the same tooth in a matter of days.

PICNIC DAY!

What is better than a picnic at the

Homestead Dam in Benoni, with family,

riding your first brand new bike and

playing with your new cricket bat?
