My angel

Ciara is getting big and as I am her mother I will say it, she is looking beautiful!

Me? Digging in the garden? Never!

Let the pictures do the talking (Check out those paws!)

I can walk on water!

Who said a pool net can keep anything out of the pool! We have had to be responsible parents and put the pool net on as Coal can't quite get out yet.

On guard!!!

Slade is teaching Coal how to guard the house! Coal is just looking for a photo opportunity!

Weekend to George and Mossel Bay

Last weekend Sean had his company Christmas function in an old converted water reservoir on the slopes of the Oteniqua mountains. We stayed in rondavels. Saturday morning we visited the George crocodile farm and on Sunday we went for lunch at Mossel Bay on the beach. Sean had to carry Ciara across the hot sand!
