Zebula Game Reserve

We were so luck to have Vodacom take us to a five star game lodge this weekend. We had the best time from the fantastic food to the great service and I even had a hour stress relief massage which was to die for!!

You can see Amber looking at the snakes, meerkat and birds. She really enjoyed all the animals and even touched the huge snake!!! She is much braver than her mommy....

Here you can see Sias holding the lion cub. You should see how they stalk Amber because she is smaller than them. So I didnt have her hold them but she did get a chance to rub his back and his face. She loves lions and always ROARS when she sees them.

Here are some random snaps of Amber playing with Mignon, who is three months younger than her. Amber is already 19 months old, and she counts all the way from one to ten on her own. She communicates so well now and I understand her most the time. Her vocabulary is so big already I am amazed at all the things she can say! Sure makes life easier if she can tell me things!

We had such a lovely weekend and it sucks to have to go back to reality tomorrow....

Music Masters

I Was lucky enough to join Amber for Music Masters on Thursday! It is n music programe and the results are AMAZING!!

Amber loves singing and dancing, doing all the moves to the songs. Amazing what Gemma achieves with them. From the little tamborines to the shakers- Amber loves them all.

I had so much fun playing around with these photo's and making up oldies of Sias and myself that I just had to share them...

My clever girl

Just thought these were too cute not to share! Amber is growing up so fast and the way she communicates is just amazing. So speaks so well for 18 months.. Mommy is so proud of you my Pixie.

Wedding Legends

According to an old legend, the month in which you marry may have some bearing on the fate of the marriage:
"Married when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind and true;
When February birds do mate, you wed nor dread your fate;
If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know;
Marry in April when you can, joy for Maiden and for Man;
Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day;
Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you will go;
Those who in July do wed, must labor for their daily bred;
Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see;
Marry in September's shrine, your living will be rich and fine;
If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry;
If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember;
When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last

My Table settings

So these are the final proofs for my name cards on the tables. I wanted them hanging from the wine glasses and think they have come out stunning. We just have decide which of the two we like the most but I think Sias and I are pretty set on the first one!!
