Lucas' 1st Day of 1st Grade!

Lucas will begin attending Grade 1 at The King's School on Wednesday, January 11. The schools in South Africa follow the calendar year so January brings a new year of school for all the children. All schools require uniforms so we had fun shopping and finding all the necessary pieces for Lucas. The scratches on his face were from a bicycle crash he had Sunday night. He completely bent his front tire so we were happy with a few scratches and no broken bones. We are excited to hear his stories from his first day but we aren't so excited to have to be up quite so early in the morning. School for the younger grades begins at 7:45am! Lucas' school day ends at 1pm so we will still have lots of time to play in the afternoons and evenings. We are so proud of our handsome young first grader!

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!"
