Visiting Time again

This time we got a chance to go and see Rachel's Cousins in Greenwood Park, Jizelle is now 4 and Romano is 7 years old, they have great fun playing with Rachel and watch out for her alot. Rachel loves playing with Jizelles shoes and always hides them from her. Rachel has been so blessed getting a lot of hand-me-downs from Jizelle, so one day she will get those shoes she loves to hide from her at the moment.

We also got to see our good friends the Scrooby's, we had a braai and also got to swim, we got delayed Christmas presents that Rachel enjoyed opening for all of us, even their little dog, Angel got in on the fun.

Our trip to Mitchell Park

Rachel had great fun at Mitchel Park, this was our second visit to the Park and we notice a difference in Rachel's intrests, she was more curious about the birds then the monkeys or other animals, which I found very intresting. She also loved the big fish. Great fun was had by all that Day.

Time for School again

Before we knew it, it was time for school again, Rachel is now in the 2-3 year old group, even though she isn't even 2 yet. She is doing so well, loves carrying her bag. She is also been potty trained and just last week they started putting Panties on her. She is getting so big, I can hardly believe that she is my little girl!

A visit with the Kathrada's

We all went to visit some old muslim friends of ours, Rachel had great fun as usual, at least she didn't tear their place apart. She is such a friendly little girl. To be honest she looks more like there Daughter then mine. They loved her to bits because they only have boys, 4 to be exact. So it was so nice to have a little girl around.

Round about at the Mall

We spent some time the other day with friend at the new Westwood Mall in Westville, Rachel had a ball of a time playing with Jordan and in the spur. She got a ballon, she really loves ballons. Jordan is now 8 months such a big boy. It was great fun catching up .

Swimming with Daddy

The summer has really hit us hot and heavy here, we are spending a lot more time in the water swimming. Rachel is getting very us to the life jacket and she swims so well on her own now and not clinging to Mom and Dad so much. Daddy loves swimming with Rachel and spending time in the water gives him great joy exespt when Rachel wants to go on her own, he still stresses.

Owen and attachments come and visit

We had the Dutch connection come and visit over the Christmas season. It was amazing to see how Owen had growen, since we last saw him when he was only a couple of months old. It was also great to have his mom and dad here too.

Christmas Time at the Yon house hold

Well it came to that time of year, when we as a family started putting up Christmas decorations. Rachel really enjoyed decoration the tree, as well as helping Dad with the Christmas trees lights. Eveangeline also joined in on the fun, with her attlars. Rachel calls it "Cippy Tree" and "Cippy lights", But fun was had by all.

Visit to the Neighbours

We went across to visit the nieghbours before they left for Cape Town for Christmas and New Year, we had a braai and fun was had by all.
