My Young Auntie

Kate found this amusing DVD at Savoy Spar (where we usually do our grocery shopping). It gave us a good chuckle (particularly the phrases at the bottom) :)

Watching the rain

I came across this cute scene this morning and managed to catch it on camera: little boys in paeds ward watching the rain ... so sweet

The little Le Rouxs come for tea

I am fortunate to have tea time at home most days. Sometimes Emma or Johan or both of them come visit. Today I was eating one of my mom's home-baked muffins (from my New Year's trip to Cape Town), so of course they also wanted one (or two in Johan's case!). Good times :)

Goodbye JT :'(

The end of 2010 meant saying goodbye to the awesome Jess and Jess physio and OT comserve team. Wish we could have kept them. Jess Trollip aka JT left this message on a white board at our house. We miss u Super Jess!

Christmas at Zithulele

My new toy :) Thanks Mum and Dad x

Sarah, Bernard and Jess's home-made Christmas tree. Quite stylish i think!

I had a great Christmas dinner with Sarah, Bernard, Jess, Ross and uncle Tony. Main course was a leg of lamb, which became Jack's Christmas present...

On Boxing Day, Uncle Tony wanted to go to Mncwasa river for a swim. The weather was rather dull so we didn't bring our swimming costumes as we assumed we would go for a walk on the beach instead. But the water was so lovely, we just had to swim in our clothes. Uncle Tony remembered his cozzie. L-R: Ross, Jess, Sarah, Tony.

Boxing day ended with a huge game of Warewolf during which we were shocked to see how well some people could lie!
