A visit from the Louws

For the past few days we have had LP, Jackie, Grace, Netjie, and Rachel staying with us... It has been such a blessing to spend time chatting, playing board games and relaxing with them... It was especially lekker to have 3 little kids in our home and to see how they are all growing up...

Chocolate pumpkin cake

For a few months now we've been trying to think of how to get Glen to eat some pumpkin, and his birthday provided a perfect opportunity... Vince and I thought we would do this in the form of a yummy chocolate pumpkin pie... It's a very easy recipe, just take a box of instant chocolate cake mix and add about a cup and a half of pumpkin and an egg or two to get the right consistency and there you have it, a yummy cake... And the best thing is that nobody can tell it has any pumpkin in it, it tastes like normal cake... Glen really enjoyed eating the cake, but unfortunately after he found out it had pumpkin in it he couldn't eat any more of it and is now suspicious of all cakes...

Milky lane with the Sunday school

On Monday some of the sunday school teachers and the year for lifers took the SUnday school kids to milky lane as a reward for good attendance during the past term... There were 17 kids in total... Just imagine the confusion with the orders when the arrived at the table... But it was a fun occasion in any case...

Dad's 50th

Friday afternoon and into the evening was my dad's half century and Steven's 60th birthday party... I especially enjoyed making 3 collages for the party... One of my dad's childhood years, one of my dads more recent life, and one of steven... My dad had a great time and enjoyed seeing friends he hasn't seen in a while and also enjoyed recieving a surprise message from his friend Peter in Australia... Just for fun I have added a photo of my dad as a child below...

Whitney's kitchen tea

Last weekend was quite interesting, the first event was to go to Whitney's kitchen tea on Friday afternoon... It was very cool to be able to see her and Leyna again... And of course to see Whitney all wrapped up and looking funny sitting in a basket... Haha...
