Sad Farewell

This post is a little late but...Recently we said a sad good bye to two of the American families that have been here with us. It was a great night of food, drinks and good memories. They are greatly missed and we can't wait to see them again state side. I know they are happy to be back home! Good Luck and Keep in Touch!

We are Thankful

We celebrated our feast on Saturday with the two other GM American families and the newest GM family from Mexico celebrated with us for their first Thanksgiving. I had a great time cooking for days and I think everything turned out pretty well and everyone had a good time.

Bafana Bafana

So you are probably wondering what the title means... That is the name of our national soccer team. The played a game here in PE against Japan a couple of weeks ago and we had to go check it out and the new stadium that was built for the 2010 world cup. We got to the game in the traditional taxis (that we wouldn't normally ride in). Our friends Clayton and Paula arranged two taxis for us and it was great door to door service. The boys had a blast. Evan fell asleep during the game, which I can't believe because it is very loud in the stadium with all the horns. Great fun! BAFANA BAFANA!!!

Evan & Aiden Kindermusik Concert

The boys take Kindermusik at school once a week. Over the last two weeks they have each had a year end concert. It was great to see them singing, playing the instruments and acting out the motions to songs...well at least it was great to see the other kids.. Evan being his shy self just stood there most of the time. Aiden as always was enjoying himself with his friends.

Evan's Fun.....

Weekend in Kleinmonde

We spent the last weekend with some wonderful friends, the Whitaker Family, at their holiday house in Kleinmonde. It was a great relaxing weekend and the boys had a blast. They live close to the river and the beach. The boys built sandcastles, went fishing, played beach cricket and sand boarded down the dunes.

Aiden's Year End Concert

Last week Aiden had his year end concert. The school has a graduation ceremony for the kids going into grade 1 and have a concert with all the kids. It was very cute. The story of Joseph and Mary having baby jesus.. but with some twists and alot of humor. Aiden was Frankincense or a gift. He sang a couple of songs and did a wonderful job!





SOOOOOOO CUTE!!
