The kids & the Christmas Tree 2012

Karla & Eugene with our Christmas tree, Sunday - 16 December

Karla is really getting very good at playing guitar, and along the way Eugene is getting some free lessons too.

Hatfield Way Xmas Street Party 2012

Last night we had the chance to attend our second Christmas Street Party here in Booragoon, and it was another good one. It started of being quite cool, but got colder and colder as the afternoon drew on. By the time evening fell we had had sufficient port and sherry to combat the chilly evening air. The kids had a great time too, so we are already looking forward to next year, God willing.

Here one can see my car at right, so you can see just how close to home the party was. How cool is that?!

Eugene's last day at Buggles Day Care

So, today marks Eugene's last day of Day Care. Next year he embarks on his full-time school journey. In a way this is both a sad and exciting day. He had excellent care at Buggles and the most exciting things about today as far as he was concerned was the cake! Kids.

Fraser & Letta kom kuier!

Ons goeie vriende van toe ons die eerste keer in Napier gebly het, het gister hier by ons 'n blitbesoek afgele oppad SA toe. Was dit nou lekker om hulle almal weer te sien?! Fraser en Lettie lyk goed en nog net dieselfde. Lettie is nog net so kwaai en Fraser en ek het die botteltjie wyn sommer tjoef-tjaf leeg gehad. Ons sien hulle weer oppad terug (hulle woon nou in Allexandria, Suid Eiland NZ), so sien uit daarna ook.

L to R: Karla, Michiel, Sandri, Fraser, Lettie, Karin en ekke.
