Sunday will be Janita’s special blessing day: she will not be christened, but the L’s will have a special private ‘inseëning” (blessing) for her. Their church is big and the blessing of infants is during the week, with only a mention of the occasion in the church on Sunday. For everyone to go out at night during the week is rather difficult: there is little time to visit, take pictures etc. The little ones are not at their best in the evening – Franco sometimes fall asleep before 5 o’clock! And taking little ones out in the bitter cold is asking for trouble!
So the L’s decided on a private Sunday morning affair – with Jan leading the proceedings for his namesake. Dorette and I are having fun planning the eats…! I am even trying out new recipes and I’ve bought cake tins! (Haven’t tried out anything new for years!)
On Monday Dorette and I went shopping for something for Dorette to wear on Sunday and shirts for Hendrik – he is off to Kwasizabantu mission tomorrow. Janita was as good as gold right through the shopping trip – did not cry once and often gurgled and smiled… but not for the camera! She studied the flash light very seriously: these pics were taken in the fitting room while Dorette was trying on some tops.
You are so special Janita and we can’t wait for Sunday!

Ag is sy nie te pragtig nie en sy trek baie na Franco nè! Geniet al die bakkery en beplanning vir Sondag en baie geluk dan ook met Janita se inseëning.
Sterkte vir Sondag! Sy lyk te pragtig!
Baie seen vir Sondag. Sy is 'n lieflike klein asjas. Geniet die familiefees!!
What a darling! It's hard to imagine that it's cold in South Africa since we're so hot here in South Carolina :). Have a wonderful time surrounded by family as you celebrate the joyful blessing of a precious child!
Hi Thea
Ja, sy trek nogal baie na Franco. Dis nogals koud vandag, maar die weervoorspelling vir Sondag lyk beter - hoop dit hou.
Hi Paula
Dankie - Janita was die afgelope paar dae so "soet"- baie tevrede, solank sy nie honger of te warm is nie. Mag sy Sondag geniet!
Hi Charmaine
Dankie vir die seenwense! Haar Ouma kan nie genoeg van haar Johnson's lyfie kry nie.
Hi Kelly
Thank you! We are really looking forward to this special day.
Something new is always exciting to hear about. New baking tins sounds good too.
Good plan to have it the way you are planning!
Sterkte met die lekker voorbereiding vir Sondag en seenwense vir die klein mensie en haar ouers. Sien uit na die foto's oor al die nuwe goed wat jy gaan probeer :-)
Hi Retha
The baking tins turned out to be not so non-stick as promised....Good thing I found that out while still in the experimenting phase.
Hi Sandra
En nou lol my kamera. Na die inbraak 'n nuwe kamera vir Jan gekry, 14 pixels en al, maar sy zoom beteken niks! Hoop maar ons kry redelike fotos môre!
