Time flies...

I am back tapping away at Row's trusty old laptop and it feels sooo good. Boy I missed the laptop and blogging this week, I mean Row, yes ROW and then blogging etc. You see this journalling thing is so helpful for putting everything into perspective!

It was a busy week as Talor decided on Rythmic gymnastics and to be a ballerina all on the same day!!! Hope is of course swimming non stop and there is no need for clothes as she stays in her costume all day most days. Great for laundry and electricity!!

I have started the year off with a bang as I signed up for Bible school this year! So much for movies, coffee,and pizza mornings and tanning on the beach which I know my brother in law(in England) thinks us stay at home Moms do all morning!!

I have so many stunning photos from our trip to Durbs and Underberg over Christmas and New Year that some time soon all my blog will be is catch up time of holiday pics. This particular one is my absolute favourite! We stayed in Durbs at my "big" sisters house for the first couple of days and the girls shared Alison's room(their 23year old cousin who was on holiday in Mozambique at the time) The girls new that they were not allowed to wake any of us up too early (they were awake at 6 am) so they found stuff to do until we sort of surfaced. Somehow this book caught their eye and we never did ask them or Talor how they enjoyed it!!!? Talor is reading amazingly well,I am stunned at her ability and the vocab she knows.
