IT'S AN ORANGE DAY!

One thing that Mateo and I have in common (besides our little toes) is that we both love to be out on the streets. We are people people. Love to be visiting and running around. So, whenI am off....we are off....... to spend a day driving here and there and everywhere.

We are out of here............. Bye bye everybody oxoxoxoxoxoxox

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

It snowed in South Africa in 1982 and not again. I was 2 years old……oops just gave away my age didn’t I…….. Well, it does snow here but on the mountains and all we get here in Jo’burg is the COLD!

(The snow was not really deep but there was enough to make a snow man....)

Well this year God decided to surprise South Africa. In the middle of the night I got a phone call from one of my friends who said ‘Get up and look out the window’ I did and all I saw was WHITE. This year 2007, Mateo is 2 years old, it snowed again. They say that it was a peaceful day through out the country. Crime was quiet.

I dont know who enjoyed it more..... us, the children or our crazy dog that was running and rolling and rolling and running up and down. Our dog thinks its a cat, he catches birds for fun. I am sure that you feel all the wiser now that I told you that.

Us more recently....

There is no method in my madness with this BLOG. I just wanted to have contact with my family and friends all around again and let you see Mateo........... So here are a couple of random shots of 'us' mostly of Mateo 'cos he is the cute one!!
Change of plans, I cant find pictures with me in so here is a REALLY recent one of the 'cousins' At the back is my brother Jonathan (he is the black one) Mateo is holding an ice cream in the front, yes, eating ice cream is serious business!! Joshua (Shanes son) is smiling sweetly and Matthew (the chinese one) is Jareds son. As I am writing this Mateo is tearing the room apart so I dont think that I will be adding much more tonight.........He is on the table and stepping on the keyboard and......oops, I should have listened and opened the door when he said he needed the toilet cos now the floor is WET. You can imagine the fun and games when we all get together.

I just cannot end without adding a picture of Tanith, she is the missing cousin in the picture up top. Tanith is Shanes daughter. She is three months older then Mateo. The two of them often look like twins with the tan skin & curly hair. Mateo is 2yrs and 4mths. Born 27/04/2005. So from left to right is Mateo and Tanith in bed with Grandma Jenna.........
Ok, Mateo is walking around with a box of matches singing 'Happy To You' so it is officially time for me to leave this spot for another day. Hopefully then I will be more interesting and creative and informative.

Me....the COW

Chubby me.......well......actually just the tummy huh....... Time flies because this was about three years ago now. Since Im new at this blog stuff I thought I would give you a look at the past 3 years....

And then little Mateo (Devoted To God) Nicholas (Victory For The People) John (Courageous In God) was born. He actually went nameless for about 3 weeks because I could not decide on a name......... So my darling brothers called him 'Pick n Pay' after a shop here in South Africa......
