June news of Friends and Family

Earlier this month my dear friend Alet and her son Roby popped over for tea. It was sooo good to see them - must do it more often.

On Thelwyn's birthday we all popped over for tea....

Frans asked whether we would like some supper and in no time he prepared this FEAST! So instead of coffee we first had a scrumptious meal and then delicious treats. Dit wil gedoen wees Frans om so onverwags vir die hele familie 'n fees voor te berei .... in 10 minute ...... nogal op 'n Dinsdagaand na 'n besige dag!

Gert en Dorette is lekker honger en die kos lyk en ruik heerlik.

In the meantime Franco and Martelize enjoyed playing with Thelwyn's new egg beater and Martelize's 100 balls on the carpet - clerverly cordoned off with poofs. The poofs make a sturdy fence to keep little ones in and big dogs out and at the same time the provide the children with a safe place to pull themselves up and to stand and play.

Finally a photo to show that Martelize can easily roll onto her side.

Hugging her giraffe. Thelwyn regularly changes her toys. In the back is the "feely" blanket that Karin has made her.
After Sunday lunch... Frans seems ready for a nap, but Martelize is wide awake. Quite content to lie on her Daddy though.

A little later he put her on a blanket so that she could kick and roll. No-one could resist this cute little baby on the floor. Here is Hendrik playing with Martelize and Eyore - a soft toy found in a packet of nappies and one of her favourite toys.

Jan on his way to the kitchen also stopped at the "Martelize station" for a while. Oupa het 'n groot mond en al is sy hare kort kan sy dit trek!

Finally it was Thelwyn's turn to play with her. There is no-one like my mommy!

I have finally learnt how to take a video! (Ek is maar baie dom met sulke goed! Wens ek het nou die dag vir Franco gevideo toe hy so gelag het!). Hope you enjoy her babbling as much as we do!
