Over December, just before our trip to Cape Town, we spent an awesome three days in Durbs with the Tuckers and Slatters Sr. Eli and Gracie took to their cousins and great-grandparents so well and it was a blessed and special time! The weather was perfect for indoor activities, so we maxed in on family time and memories. Thanks to our Durban family for blessing us!

Our December Durban Trip
Over December, just before our trip to Cape Town, we spent an awesome three days in Durbs with the Tuckers and Slatters Sr. Eli and Gracie took to their cousins and great-grandparents so well and it was a blessed and special time!

Shopping cart rallies
It was all fun and games until Eli stopped looking where he was going. (This was at the end of November, just after their second birthday)

Sports day shenanigans...
This weekend was Grace and Eli's first sport's day! El was helping with the events whilst I was able to stand at the end of the lane and shout for my running legends! It was an awesome day and there was a fantastic turnout. I took my PA system along and helped with the background music and announcement vibes - which was lots of fun and fairly nostalgic. It may very well be the start of our next stage in parenting - school functions...
A few weeks ago, Mike and Lee were up in JHB for the Symphonic Rocks concert of which they were both performing in the house band. The gig was at Carnival City, which is just over an hours drive away, so we met them on the Thursday afternoon and listened to some of the rehearsals, and then headed back again on the Friday to spend the day with them.
It was an awesome time to relax and lounge around outside by hotel pool, catching up with our best mates from Cape Town. For the time that we were enclosed in the hotel, it felt like we could've been at home in CT... someday soon!
One of the photographers from the function were with us around the pool and took these two stunning pics of Grace and Eli.
There are a slim seven weeks left of the school calendar and El and I can't wait for our Christmas travels! We cannot believe what a year we've had - it's ending on a high note and that's what counts! GOD's plan has been slowly revealed to us each step of the way, a true light unto our path, and we give Him the Glory for His love and constant provision.
Eli and Grace will be two-years old in three short weeks and they're talking so beautifully. The sentences are one- to three-word vibes but they're awesome! Things like:
"Daddy come." "Roo-roo no!" "Mommy, ruv you." How can we not be proud :).
We miss you all (those abroad and cross-country) and pray that as you enter this last quarter of 2011 that you will start to allow yourself to rest a bit an prepare for 2012.
Much love and blessings

Mid July... winter sniffles have hit
Hi all, we hope that the winter months are faring well for you! Last week, after a week of Eli and Gracie growing slowly more and more blocked and congested (head region...), we took them to the Dr. Neither had had any fevers or telltale signs of infection, but we weren't getting more than a few hours sleep at a time because they were so uncomfortable at night.
It turned out that Eli had a throat infection, and he didn't like the look of the gunk coming from Gracie's nose... so both were put onto anti-biotics until the weekend. We are glad to report that both are back to their usual selves.
