Goodbye for now

This blog is one year old! My aim was to get it published through Blubber and I will do so when I have a little extra time. So much has happened since my last post: a reunion with varsity friends and Martin's wedding and the babies' first steps and our dogs and and and....! But tomorrow we're off for two weeks to "Rusland" where we are going to "rus" (rest). VERY EXCITED!! We have finished packing, and the weight seems OK, but we cannot get ourselves to lock the cases and gladwrap them! I still need to check Tammy's worksheets. I have made a lot, but am not so sure she'll manage without me, and I so want her to work independently these two weeks.

I want to end the first year of blogging with this piece of wonderful news - as the L's conveyed it to us:

Guess who is going to be an "Ouboet" (Big brother) next year!! Great expectations! Thank you God!
Keep well, we'll be back with lots of news of one these days!
