Bless this Home

Our home was blessed in a very special way by Peter Gunning and his wife Alison.

The blessing of each room was led by a family member or friend, as they shared their love and blessing with us.

Thanks also to Craig for taking on the official photographer duties and leaving us with so many beautiful pictures. Some are here for your enjoyment and memory.

Hannah's Midmar Mile

Our brave and dearest Hannah swam her first Midmar Mile this year. After two successful CapitalK swims she felt up to completing this swim classic - the biggest open water event in the world.
She posted a fantastic time of 41min, and says she enjoyed every minute of of it.


The months of hard training paid off! Here are some memories from the day including the pre-race wishes from her adoring family and final pep talk from Daisy.

Halloween Shark Attack

Justin and I were at the Shark Tank to see the sharks win the 2010 Currie Cup. To witness and share in this great victory over an out-gunned Stormers side was out of this world. Here’s a picture of us at the game – pity the Witness decided to crop Justin out of the picture when they included my pic and quote in their coverage of the win on their Monday front page. They may have sensed he was supporting the Stormers!

At the same time our kids were having a fun day at uShaka Marine World with Brigitte and Caroline. I think those uShaka sharks were very scared that day. Check out these disturbed kids!

We shared a lazy day on the beach the next day to round off a wonderful weekend.

First day of school from our new home 2011

We were happy to see the start of 2011 in our new home. Finally!

Daniel and Hannah were up bright and early at the start of the new academic year, excited to get back to school and see all their friends.















Daniel was very nervous about meeting his new teacher, Mrs Sorour. But after he met her, he knew they would get along just fine!

Home Geography Studies

Brigitte and Hannah had lots of fun doing some extra Geography today, in our new home office.
