Kayra’s finally swimming

Kayra has finally thrown away her armbands and is swimming unaided!

Unfortunately I had a crisis at work that only I could fix so I missed it. She wouldn't get out of the pool until daddy sees her swimming. When I didn't come there were tears for Africa!

I only got home about 8pm to a very pissed off wife and very disappointed daughter.

So I guess we will have to go swimming tomorrow.

Guinea pig walk

Kayra found Tia’s old leash and decided she wanted to take one of the guinea pigs for a walk.

The guinea pig enjoyed the freedom and the plants.

Luckily Kayra got boarded quite quickly so the guinea pig went back to its cage unscathed.

Jorja can whistle

Out of the blue Jorja has started whistling. She practices all the time. Kayra is seriously pissed because she can’t do it!

Surf’s up

Ok, so I saw pictures of Boz so proud of his 20mm wetsuit that he got for Christmas to help brave the icy waters of Ireland for a surf. It stirred the urge in me to surf again.

We have had surf the last two weekends, but its been too much to find my boards, leashes, wax etc. to go for a quick surf.

So this morning I found them all, removed all the old wax, put new wax on, made sure all the leashes were all ok, and made a place on the stairs to make it easy to just pop home and pick up a board for a quick surf after work.

We now wait for the surf to arrive again!

Back to school

The kids went back to school today. Jorja started at Beachwood, it went without any incidents.

Kayra started grade R. She has a lot of new friends.

At least both kids are at the same school now!

New year’s party

After Kayra’s birthday we went straight into a New year’s party. Craig and Sharon, Phum and Denise and Werner and Suzanne joined us for a braai, lots of dop and a bit of dancing.

Denise kept moaning about her little toe she broke, so seeing there were so many doctors around we organised an amputation. She stopped moaning when she saw the tin snips!

A good party was had by all an we eventually got into bed around 2am. Needless to say the 1st was a bugger of a day!

Kayra’s 5th birthday

Kayra had a great 5th birthday. The day started early with the opening of her presents. Then mom and dad got everything ready for the party in the afternoon.

Thankfully the weather played with and the kids had a great time.

Kayra is now 1.12m tall and weighs 19.5kg.
