Oliver’s marble run
We had an excellent day with friends celebrating Oliver’s birthday today.
Happy birthday Oliver!

Water slide fun
Newberry Sports Day
It was a beautiful day for a sports day, and everyone had so much fun. I loved going through the photos and seeing all the smiles – parents and children, loads of laughing, good fun, and an awesome time.
Run Eli, run! Even when running he is posing for the camera
The “creeping” (hands and feet) race – Grace takes on one of the twins
Red team wins the hula-hoop wiggle!
The toddler riders, rearing to go in the race blocks
Go, go, go!
My man Aran and his bump (unrelated to sports day)

Chariots of fire
Eli negotiates and obstacle race
Finnbar’s game face
And Oli is go!
The staff and teachers race…what to say, what to say?
Sandy brothers
Donné set up a small sand pit for Adam today, and Eli joined him to help explore the sand. Adam (being a baby) decided that it looked yummy….is wasn’t.
Good old donkey
He’s always good for a laugh, he’s donkey. Now all three children have had a chuckle at the floppy donkey.
Miss Pancakes
Grace has been wanting to make pancakes after she and Lea made pancakes together, and today was her day. The hot stove did freak her out a bit, but she pushed through to make quite a few little pancakes with only a few singes to her fingers.
Outdoor baking
We had a wonderful get together at the Bradshaw’s to see the Parker’s off as they head to Nelspruit to fulfil a dream of managing a farm. The combination of children between the families is perfect, with Grace and Diya, Jack and Caleb, and Eli and Asher spending lots of time in their pairs.
Eli and Asher did some outdoor baking (and cleaned the kitchen up so nicely afterwards too)
Neb-u-baby
Adam is fortunately recovering nicely from his bout of flu (or whichever viral infection it happened to be), but to help clear out the congestion and prevent things going to his chest the Dr. recommended a saline and ventolin nebuliser. Now we have a little nebuliser baby three times a day – fortunately he is generally fine with it, and his siblings like to “put on a show” while he breathes in the good stuff.
Little cuddly man
Getting some love from Lea
Doesn’t this outfit just make you want to cuddle him?
