Just returned (sans baby) from a wonderful weekend with family... started off with a much-anticipated visit from Teej and her fabulous cousin. Newly arrived from a chilly UK, they braved two days of Durban autumn and it was wonderful! Definitely planning a trip north one of these days ...
On Saturday morning we woke at 3:30am to get to Pongola by breakfast time. A bittersweet trip knowing that this is the last time that the whole family would be there together but a happy occassion too because the folks are moving onto bigger and better things - and close enough to babysit :) Our little girl had her first haircut which was a proud and scary moment but thankfully no ears or fingers were lost in the process. She loved the mirrors at the hairdressers as you can see.
We had late night easter egg hunt on Saturday night which made us all feel just a little younger. Amazing what a few glow-in-the-dark eggs can do! Michaela was dressed in her finest for the last church service my folks were giving - after nearly a dozen years there were more than a few tears shed and it was wonderful that we could be there as a family. Muffet thought collecting easter eggs was the best fun even though she never cottoned on to the fact that there was chocolate in the brightly coloured wrappers (definitely a good thing considering the sugar high she had anyway).
Michaela is spending her first week by herself with her grandparents. Apparently she's having an absolute ball and not missing us one bit. I, on the other hand, am counting the hours ...
Looking forward to the next family gathering and hoping it won't be too long from now.
Thank you famdamily for a lovely weekend! And thanks especially to Michaela for NOT eating all the easter eggs...more for your chocoholic aunty!!! xxx Bean
