Harvest Time

Today we ate the first of our home-grown veggies! James and I picked some spinach and we had spinach and feta fajitas for dinner.



The garden is coming along rather well. It's an amazingly satisfying feeling.

A visit from friends

The Schultz family came to spend a few days with us over the long weekend. It was lovely catching up with them and James had an absolute ball playing with their three lovely kids. We have known Becky and Andrew for many years, there is something very special about time with old friends.



James, Rachel, Luke and Caleb watching a DVD.



Trying to keep them all on one place long enough to take a photo proved to be tricky!

James

This morning James sat down with his father's bible, opened it, and then began to do the actions for 'He's got the whole world in His hands'... It looks here like he is explaining something of deep theological significance to me, then again, maybe he is..?



Spot the James amongst the toys. The lengths I go to to get him into the bath, and then the things I have to do to get him out of the bath!

Weekend with Family

Jame's Shelwell grandparents came to spend the weekend with us, and it was great!



Grandpa made a potjie to end all potjies - the leftovers of which we are still eating...



We all went to Key West to watch the rugby on Saturday and even James was interested for a while,


then the ducks arrived and they were loads more fun,


so Nan got to put in some quality baby-sitting time.

The veggies continue to grow (still much to my amazement) and James has got the hang of watering them!


He loves to be thrown in the air by his dad - this is one of my favourite action shots.



Bailey remains the long-suffering great dane. When James sees him he makes a horse noise, and spends a fair amount of time sitting on his back! Lucy, the jack russell, loves the attention.
