Pictures Of My Life

FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL!!!

2007-01-10T09:17:00.000+02:00

Donovan in his uniform - huge grin (very proud).

I so love this photo!!

Sean in his new uniform going to grade 5 (a very good big brother).

Sean and Donovan together, ready (I hope) for their first day at school.

First of all let me say that I am very happy that I am not a grade school teacher today. If I have ever seen a school in chaos and exitement it is Donovan's Primary School this morning. He is very excited to go and be in Big School at last, he has really waited for this day to come for a very long time. And because Mark has now gone to High School, Sean is very happy to be the Big Brother in the primary school. I think this year is going to be a good year him.

Mark was very stressed out and nervous this morning I think, cause he was very grumpy and nothing seemed to fit right for him. I think he feels out of sorts in a new uniform and he didn't want his picture taken - he wasn't feeling very much like smiling. But I will get one of him when he feels less stressed. He will soon realise that high school is not all that scary and he will settle in. I will leave him be for a few days - just so he can start to feel a little more at ease in his own skin again. He does look very dashing in his uniform though.

I think by Monday we should all be feeling more relaxed...

DONOVAN AS A BABY / TODDLER

2006-11-17T13:15:00.000+02:00

I plan to scan (how's my rhyming there folks - LOL!) some more baby pics of him to put up here - but these are some of my favourites...

The ones of him in the camping cot - you can see very clearly how little hair he had. Not even eyebrows, Thats why he looks like he's a bit "stoned". He strated to grow hair after he turned one!!

Here are some pictures of the pool area in our complex. It is so well looked after and the kids and I love going there. It is the best way to have a pool - no worries. I don't have to clean it or anything, it all gets done for us!! What a pleasure. The gardens are SO pretty, I haven't put them all here it's too many to laod and blogger is taking it's time with each photo. But these give a pretty good view of everything.

MY LITTLE GARDEN

2006-10-24T14:02:00.000+02:00

This is my little garden at home. The beds have all been cleaned and reshaped and made ready for planting. I plan on putting some flowers - dunno what sort - into the beds to bring in some colour. My hubby bought me those snails for my garden - they are so cute!! O nad please note the barbed wire and electric fencing along the wall, this is standard with all place now in South Africa - in fact it has become a selling point on all houses and complexes. But I love my little garden and I will show you pictures again as soon as I have finished working in it.

AT LAST!!!!

I can post pictures of this little boy now too! I had such fun with him this weekend and he suddenly clicked what my name is and called me "Brigi" all day long. He loves having visitors and gets quite upset when we all have to leave. He talks all the time and copies ANY word you ask him to say, Lavender is "vavada" - that's just one example. And he loves to show off his tricks too. He can stand on one leg, "jump" and he loves to dance. Yesterday he even walked and danced at the same time - but I don't think he even realised what he was doing.
