A humbling experience

Yesterday, actually the story starts on Sunday...

So, On Sunday I had a bee in my bonnet and decided to make some meals for the week in my slow cookers. Awesome, or so I thought.
By the time we got to taste them , they were a huge flop and Paul didn't like them at all...
So, I put the "leftovers" which was almost all the food into containers, as Octavia, our domestic worker, was coming on Monday.
Anyway, I left her a not to say, please take the food, as I didn't want to throw it away, and I felt a little upset that I had wasted the money, or so I thought. I got an SMS from her to say thank you for the food, and that we had really blessed them as they had no food to eat and would have gone hungry last night. How awesome is God and the way he works?

Chloe has just got...

Her first invitation to a birthday party!!!!!

No spark in the Spark

Well, after test driving a Spark with 29000km on the clock I have decided that there is NO way if possible that I would get one.  It was flat, the clutch was dodgy and the gears were wishy-washy, and I felt like I was in a matchbox in terms of safety.  At least that decision has been made....

The next tooth... and kisses

Well, Chloe has now started with the next tooth, I spent the night on the couch with her last night, as she was so uncomfortable, and at least then I could just put some teething gel on her dummy and pop it in quickly before she got too worked up...

She is so cute at the moment, she has become very shy if I am in a group of strangers, and has started making kissing noises, it is gorgeous!

Crawling is still evading her, but she is getting very close now, and I was giving her some crawling lessons this weekend. Imagine how difficult it must be to try to coordinate four different limbs at once when you have only just really grasped hand-eye coordination. But, she is really making such an effort to get going.
