What Daddy can't see in his rear view mirror...

... Is the Lindt chocolate made-up lips sitting on the backseat!

P-J sent me this photo while he was still on his way to drop Jorja at Bonny Babies yesterday.

Jorja found a piece of chocolate in her (Sunday) snack bag, left in the car, and quietly and carefully proceeded to apply the Lindt- flavoured lipstick while her Dad shuttled her to school, blissfully unawares!

Con - She's eating chocolate... way too early... on a Monday morning

Pro - She'll burn it off before she comes home

*Disclaimer: We cannot confirm or deny where the chocolate came from. So, technically, we aren't aiding her!

The week that has been...

"Life as we see it", right? My time so far at the cycle tour office is reminding me of just how demanding life in this age can be - a time seeking instant solution and gratification: We want it now! We won't wait! This is what makes a relaxing, easy going activity seem so rewarding! We've always been fortunate enough to cook with pleasure - obviously more for mine! And since returning from BA, we've also found great enjoyment from leisurely strolls in the neighbourhood or at Sea Point promenade. Take time for this! Here's what we've been a part of this past week: We were encouraged to see a group of students from Bishops come out (even in the rain) and join with the FBC team in painting a mural on the school's new diningroom and kitchen wall. For news and updates visit: http://www.fbcschool.org.za/ We joined over 15 000 walkers in a quest to feed the hungry children in the Western Cape, by participaing in the Blisters for Bread walk on Sunday. We tackl...

That's so amazing about Grace

Scrolling through some photos this afternoon, I came across one of our friend Tarrin-Rae and her new baby girl, Isla, born last Thursday 31 October 2013. Isla Grace Graham I struggled to contain my own emotions as I observed this special moment in Tarrin's life (and new Isla's too) and thought back to my own experiences. I immediately asked Tarrin if I may use this to share a bit more of what I some times feel as a Mom... At first glance, I see relief . She's finally here! We can see her face in real life and we can say out loud "I am a Mommy!" Like my own kids, Isla was in no hurry to be born and labour was induced. What's worse than having to wait 40 weeks to meet your newest family member?? Having to wait longer still! I must confess, that this feeling was mixed with a fair dose of disbelief  on my part too - when I sat quietly resting between visitors and feeds, I had to pinch my literal self and realise - the baby was here. Then I see comfort ....

Day 87

Between the two of us, P-J packs a better suitcase hands down. In our younger days, when we did SU Teen Camps together, he'd casually grab a duffle bag and walk past his shelves - just before it was time to head for the Training Weekend! P-J is the guy you want to pack a snack bag. This is where his Chef really shines - since he isn't a snack kind of guy - and yet he knows what will make a good snack for others. He's the guy you want to have packed your padkos for a road trip. He's also sworn off egg mayo rolls, so you know you're safe! Over the years, he has also demonstrated an increasingly high level of Tetris-style packing capabilities. Ask the crew that went with us to Knysna last year - 8 adults, 3 kids, 4 bikes with enough food, blankets and clothes for a long weekend. This guy knows what he's doing. And whichever way he packs...he always has exactly what he needs, plus what he wants, and a little bit extra still. Just ask me how many pairs of sho...
