Lucas plays baseball!

Lucas playing baseball

Lucas is now a few games into his baseball season and just loves it! It's so great to watch how his skills have improved so much in the last year. His team is called the Imps (wish they would've thought of something else...). He plays in the Under 8 league and has games every Saturday morning. Click on the pic above for a few more glimpses of a recent game.

Warm Baths

Warm Baths

We visited Warm Baths which is an area about 1.5 hours outside of Joburg. It is known for its natural hot springs. There is a water park where most of the pools are warm water pools because of the springs. We camped with 3 other families. There were 8 adults and 14 kids. What a party! This was our first time sleeping in a tent with kids but it went well and we had so much fun. Great to have such a refreshing weekend. We went October 22-24 so we celebrated Joshua's first birthday while we were there. Click above and see a bunch more pictures or enjoy the videos below!

Alexis' Princess Party!

Alexis' 4th Birthday

Alexis had two little girls over for a princess party to celebrate her 4th birthday. They started by coloring princess pictures and then spent quite a bit of time putting on glitter makeup. They had so much fun! We also read the story "The Princess and the Pea." I then hid a ball under one of 4 pillows and the girls had to sit on them until they felt the "pea." I had more planned but they just wanted to play with Alexis' dollhouse which was just fine. I'm glad they all enjoyed it! So, click on the carriage above to see more of the party!

The dollhouse was daddy's special project for Alexis' birthday. He thought of the idea, designed it and found someone with tools to help him build it. I did a bit of decorating which was also fun. Needless to say, she loves it!
