E - Vida

Dear Jorja, You are now 10 years old.  Double digits   , as the Grannies would emphasise when I was younger. Just days old So, what does this mean? Well, it means you've been given the gift of life for 10 years already! Some have gone by in a blur and others have stuck in your mind for longer.  Don't take any one of those days for granted. It means that you are growing up - learning more and knowing more. And hopefully using that knowledge to make wise decisions. Now, when asked to choose between knowledge or wisdom, always choose wisdom!   It means that you have reason to celebrate; who you are, where you've been and what you've done. You often choose the path less travelled and don't seem to feel alone on the journey. You are braver than you know . It means that you don't have to change who you are, to be loved . Jorja Sarah, 10 years old We love watching you paint and craft, bake and dance, snuggle up with a book and ride your bike

Back on the blog Back in the States Back to School Back so sore from sleeping on different beds around Cape Town and carrying heavy kids and bags around airports... We are, indeed, happy to be back! Not much can be done about the untold stories of the last 5 months... I mean, yes, I'm disappointed that we didn't capture them here. But many of you were apart of our lives quite closely during this time. You saw most if it - the good, the great, the birth days, camp life and braais. See how I only highlighted the good stuff? Like a real social media con artist. Then there was also the loss, the inconvenience, the distraction, the goodbyes. What a rollercoaster. Now that we're further apart again, I hope to post regularly about what's happening in our lives. And it will be real - don't you worry. I'm watching a lady hurry over the grass to her mailbox. Looks like she's expecting something lekker! Chat soon x
