In July 2011, my big brother and his family came to visit us. With him, he brought the most wonderful weather. For one whole week in winter, we had radiant blue skies, no wind or rain, and soaring temperatures of up to 27 degrees.

We were able to share some awesome memories with Kevin, Roz and Jay. In particular I cherish the special times that our two toddlers Eryn and Camryn shared with them. There were many romping sessions where Eryn and Camryn climbed all over Kevin, Roz got to be the patient a few times while Eryn played “doctor, doctor” on her, and Jay was just a big play mate for Eryn, from reading stories to running in the waves with her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jason is like a big brother to Eryn. He is amazingly patient and caring towards Eryn. He just goes along wherever Eryn drags him and plays along to whatever game she has decided is the game of the minute!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So no, we didn’t lock our guests in our house and subject them to our toddlers the whole week. We did some of the tourist site including Table Mountain (where we were almost blown away)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazing how at the foot of table mountain there was no wind. We thought we had picked the perfect day for a trip to the top of table mountain. Alas, when we arrived at the top and stepped out of the building, wow – we were almost blown away…by the wind and the view of course.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To the right, you will notice in true Cammy style that he decided not to view CPT with the binoculars but in fact to turn them around and try view himself!

 

 

 

And of course with such brilliant weather, we spent some good times at the beach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks Kev, Roz and Jay for a special time!

Going through our photo’s I noticed that we have a few that don’t fit into a specific event but still memories that we are fond of.

Let’s start with our energetic little boy Camryn. He dances and sings his way into everybody’s hearts. As cute as he is, he has a very strong will which results in lots of tantrums and subsequent consequences but how can we be cross with him when he cuddles onto our chests and rests his head on our shoulder giving a gentle kiss on the neck to say sorry!

We joke that he is 18 months going on 18 years, because he does not have a fearful bone in his whole body. He has his mom climbing to the highest point of the jungle gym behind him, running into the sea to fetch him, and behind him as he freewheels down the hill on his pushbike. Oh yes, and jumping after him into the gym pool when he thought he might try swimming a lap. We know that God has got big plans for him and we are seeking His will and way to raise our little boy. Here are some photos:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let the pictures tell the story:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank goodness there is a time when he is more docile:
