Anna Awake

It is much easier taking pictures of Anna while she is sleeping, but Melanie managed to get a couple of her awake this morning that we think are worth publication...

Benjamin getting into Water Polo

For the last couple of weeks Ben has taken to wearing a water polo cap around the house. He even demanded to wear one to church last Sunday, which we let him. Here he is walking around the house again with the cap on...

Look what arrived on Friday!

Anna can afford to look very smug in this photograph. If you notice, she has a little red passport on her lap - yes, she is a British Citizen, officially.

Our first braai as a foursome

As many of you know, Melanie suffered from constant nausea during her pregnancy with Anna. Many and varied smells would send me into fits of nausea, and one of these was the smell of the braai.
