Alexis' 5th Birthday Party in South Africa
 |
| Alexis' 5th Birthday Party in South Africa |
Alexis' celebrated her official 5th birthday with lots of friends on a day camping trip. Another mom made her a fantastic pink princess castle cake and she received some fun gifts. Her favorite part, though, was seeing all her friends again. She had a wonderful birthday and the kids enjoyed sunny weather for swimming as well.

Birthday Celebrations!
We are now back in Joburg and getting settled into our new house. We had a couple of birthday celebrations right before we left so I wanted to share just a few highlight photos. We celebrated Joshua's 2nd birthday with a Thomas the Train theme and Alexis' 5th birthday with a Princess theme. We even managed to do a little Trick or Treating before we left. Our kids were so excited to experience that and even Joshua kept saying, "more candy!"

Happy Birthday Dan!
 |
| Dan's Birthday |
Above is our most recent family picture taken on March 9 which just happened to be Dan's 36th Birthday! The finance office was on a retreat that week so we enjoyed celebrating with many friends at Magalies Park. The retreat was great for team building and we also studied the book of Nehemiah together. Childcare was provided so I was able to attend the meetings as well. The kids had a great time together and especially loved swimming! Click on the picture below to see a few more memories from the retreat.

Yes, we can finally post again!
Yahoo! A parent of a co-worker was able to bring us a new battery charger for our camera and we are soooo glad to share some pictures once again! I couldn't resist adding a pool picture. We are almost to the end of summer and the days are just beautiful!

Christmas in Drakensburg
 |
| Drakensburg |
A family from our local church offered us the opportunity to stay in their timeshare house in the Drakensburg mountains over Christmas. It was AWESOME and such a blessing! We were so far back into the mountains and it was absolutely beautiful! We took the kids on 6 hikes (at least 1 hour each) in the first three days because we love to explore. Our kids are real troopers but I also brought extra sweets to help them go uphill! We saw wild animals up close and waterfalls. Our house had a pool so each day we'd hike, stop for a jump on the trampoline and then get in the pool. The kids loved every minute of it. It was such a restful time for our whole family and great to spend so much uninterrupted time together.
We invited some good friends of ours to come join us the last two nights we were there because the place where we stayed had enough space. They are very good at photography and we were so thankful they took pictures for us since our camera fritzed out the day after Christmas. The closeups of the animals and some scenic shots are from them.
The coolest experience happened the day before we left. We'd seen lots of zebras and they finally came right into our backyard. We sat and watched them for close to an hour and several of us got to touch the "leader" of the group. It was a definite highlight for all of us!
