Things are going well in the Slatter JHB household! With the weather warming up, we've had some awesome days and spent more time just chilling as a family.
Last Saturday our church had their first men's breakfast in the entire time that I've been here, and it was completely organised by our men, and not by Paul and I, which was rocking! We had it a the Rusty Hook, which is a German restaurant just around the corner from our church that is built on a trout lake. Renee came and spent the morning with El to help with Eli & Grace whilst Andrew and I joined all the other men for an absolutely divine breakies! One of the newer guys in our church (in his late 50's) gave a really inspiring talk and started the ball rolling for a FATHERS ministry - which is really exciting!
We had a special service on Sunday where we thanked and celebrated the gifts in our church and had a huge party in the 'still busy' new church sanctuary. It was a wonderful service but it was just too busy with too many people so unfortunately El and the twins left and went home early. The cry-room was packed, the church foyer was packed and we spent half the service standing outside, which, with the twins, was just silly. Everyone else, who didn't have children under a year, had an awesome time. Ant and Nadia invited us around to their new place for lunch afterwards and we had a rocking afternoon with them!
As you can see from the pic above, Gracie is really pushing her boundaries... and buttons... that she can get to. She stands up in her cot and has started standing up against our coffee table and the couches, so she's making sure that she checks up on everything that's going on around her. Eli started pulling himself up in his cot this morning, for the first time, but only got to knee height.... but that was enough for him and he was laughing so much at his achievement! Everyday we are so blessed to have them in our lives!
That's all for now! Miss and love you all, GOD bless
