Summer of 2008

Man is can get hot on Cape Town - just a few pictures of the family enjoying the sun and garden etc...

Sunset concerts in the Helderberg Nature Reserve

Summer time is always fantastic in the Cape! And there is always a feast of sunset concerts to go to. Our favourite venues are The Helderberg Nature Reserve and The Paul Cluver Ampitheatre in the forest.

Sean has done a scuba diving course in Jamaica

Sean has always wanted to do a scuba course and during his year and a half stint in Jamaica he finally completed not only the beginners course but also the advanced course!!

Holiday to the Garden Route Game Lodge

We had a wonderful vacation to a private game reserve along the Garden Route. Check out the cheetah stalking Ciara. She was not allowed into the enclosure coz she was too short - dinner!!!!

Some of the pictures from Jamaica where Sean is working

It really looks like paradise!!

Sean in Jamaica

Sean has been working away in Jamaica for almost a year now so you can imagine how excited Ciara was with all the presents dad brought home with him

pictures of our new deck and jacuzzi

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!

Family Day at Somerset College

The school where I teach which Ciara attends is turning 10 years old. To celebrate Ciara and her class mates entertained all the grannies, granddads, moms and dads for the morning.

Weekend to Knysna

So Ciara and I travelled to Knysna and George this past weekend to share a birthday with a friend. Here are some pictures of Knysna
