2007 December

Kayra weighs 15kg and is 96cm long.

Jorja weighs 12kg and is 84cm long.

Shirley's sister Brenda came to visit for a week around Christmas. We had the whole family at our house for Christmas, a great day was had by all. Kids were a bit overwhelmed by all the presents, especially Jorja.

Bought the kids a new pool. As usual we all ended up in it after Christmas lunch. Water was a bit cold, but nothing that a hose to the hot water tap can't fix. Ended up being an outdoor sauna!

Kayra's birthday went well, can't believe she is now 3 year old! She got lots of lovely presents.

Had a reasonably quiet new years at home with family and friends. Was very thirsty the next morning though!

2007 November

Jorja has started with colours, the only problem is that everything is green. Jorja is out of nappies, hopefully it stays that way.

We went to St Francis for ouma's birthday.

We almost got written off in a 4 car pile-up on the way to Addo. Had a great time with Ouma and Oupa, even if we didn't see much.

2007 October

Jorja has started drawing, jumping, singing, and counting.

Kayra has started colouring in.

Tim's birthday braai coincided with the Rugby World Cup final. The Springboks beat England easily. We partied hard that night and were very week the next morning.

We decided to alter the kitchen. We moved the sink to the new scullery. Then we moved the cupboards. Then we broke the wall down. We were quite broken after each step.

2007 September

Shirley and the kids spent 3 hours in line to get lamb cheap. Was too much for Jorja so she passed out in a box.

Brenda came to visit from Cape Town for her dad's 60th birthday. We all went out to St Francis for the weekend and left Brenda there. Her folks dropped her back off on Thursday. We went to Addo for the day and had a lovely lunch time braai.

Sunday we went to Kragga Kamma game reserve and saw some non local game, e.g. giraffe. Poor things had kinks in there necks from eating our low vegetation.

We also have a new addition to the family, bunny Rosie. She arrive one Sunday out of the blue. Though Tia was being murdered in the back yard, turned out it was Tia terrorising the bunny. Needless to say the next weekend was spent building a bunny hutch.

Luckily after everyone was home Shirley went to get some late supplies and our trusty Corolla dies a few kilometres from home. I towed it home. Turns out the cam belt broke. After speaking to a few greedy mechanics who though we were suckers (between R6000 and R8000 to fix) we sent it to Toyota. Turned out all that had to be replaced was the cam and alternator belt. Thankfully it did not cost an arm and a leg, ok well just an arm!
