Exercising in the sun

touch-your-toe

It was a scorcher again today, and Elaine (my sister) came over for a swim…. sorry guys, no pics of her today… instead… photos of Connor doing exercises on his towel (he was being tutored by Elaine).

It didn’t take long before he found something that looked a lot more interesting…

Marylin (19 comments.) - December 30, 2008 - 11:47 pm

They have the cutest hands when they little hey!!!
It was minus 10 degrees here today, I did my abs workout on my bedroom floor!!!!!!

Toy rediscovered

this-is-fun

Bradley got this Radio Controlled car for Christmas from his godfather 2 years ago, and he’s never really been interested in it, so it’s been gathering dust at the top of a bookcase (to keep it away from Connor).  I took the boys to the shops this morning, and as I was getting batteries from...

He’s getting so tall too.

Huckdoll (27 comments.) - December 30, 2008 - 9:54 am

LOVE the pics! How awesome is it that your boy is rediscovering old toys right after Christmas? It’s funny…forget the Barbies and Leap Frog systems, My Little Ponies and Tinkerbells (the Christmas presents I’ve let them have so far), my girls currently love their old blocks. They sit and make “tall towers” for hours at a time.

Mom (262 comments.) - December 30, 2008 - 9:16 am

He is now old enough to enjoy them now and will have loads of fun!! Make the most of every moment with the boys – they are precious!! (even though I miss them!)

Corey (250 comments.) - December 30, 2008 - 6:52 am

lovely. Your photos always tell a story, and these are no exception.

Kerri (47 comments.) - December 29, 2008 - 11:06 pm

Lovely captures!! I can remember my children doing the same thing with toys they had forgotten or that had been put away.

Weekly Winners 12 – 27 December

weekly_winners

I’m telling you, there’s nothing better than celebrating Christmas in the southern hemisphere where you can enjoy the hot weather with friends and family and spend your days in the pool (or at the beach but we’re never that lucky at Christmas time). Jealous yet?Here are the last photos of our Christmas… I promise
Licking...

Momisodes (33 comments.) - December 30, 2008 - 4:22 am

WOW! I have never seen or heard of a flame lily, but that is gorgeous. I adore lilies and I just had to show that to my husband :)

What a beautiful set of shots. I just love that you all were playing in the water during Christmas. What fun!

frogpondsrock (18 comments.) - December 29, 2008 - 12:06 pm

They are all lovely Jeanette, I have some difficult bulbs here as well. They sulked for 10 years after I transplanted them.. *sigh* and only flowered last year.. I thought the wallabies had eaten them but no, they were just sulking.. xoxoxox Yay for Christmas in the pool.

as always, fantastic pics. I especially love the pool shots and the Groucho glasses!

Mom (262 comments.) - December 29, 2008 - 8:26 am

Aah – they are all beautiful – as always! Love the one with Elaine and Jackie. Beautiful one of Bradley (for frame .. for me!??) Love Connor’s face in pool! Last one is precious – the ‘wild child’ sleeps!

Tina (1 comments.) - December 29, 2008 - 1:35 am

Jeanette, your Christmas looks nice and warm! Great photo of the sunflower, your beautiful son….and all of them really! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Just a social call… I didn’t play this week…

Lovely photos as always!

Wonderful and warm holiday pics, I love it! I really love the sunflower and that last one of Connor is soooo cute! And Bradley is SUCH a beautiful boy.

Oh, Jenty, they are all so lively and wonderful. That last one is the epitome of toddlerhood!

julie (3 comments.) - December 28, 2008 - 9:57 pm

I love the shark thing — it’s very cute! The flame lily is gorgeous. It’s very strange to see photos of people in pools and flowers and all when we have a couple feet of snow and it’s 3 degrees out!

What Christmas does to toddlers? Shoot that was me after it was all over! :)

Huckdoll (27 comments.) - December 28, 2008 - 7:12 pm

My brother and I used to do that whole shark in the water thing, too. That photo brought back a ton of memories of spending hours in the pool together.

Huckdolls last blog post..So Much

Elaine (27 comments.) - December 28, 2008 - 6:30 pm

These are all gorgeous. But that last one, well it speaks for itself! Just perfect!

I have to say it’s kinda strange to see kids in the pool at Christmas! : )

Merry Holidays!

Gattina (6 comments.) - December 28, 2008 - 4:12 pm

If you could see my face right now, it’s yellow and green (it depends on the language) of jalousie !! I think I am born on the wrong side of the world !

All such beautiful photos. I love the funny glasses.

Wonderful shots this week.

I’m jealous…but saying that I have over the last 4 years chosen to stay here for xmas as the atmosphere is like nothing I’ve experienced back home at Xmas time…its family I miss at this time.

Photo’s are amazing, each one tells a story – the flower is very special as well..

Thanks for sharing.

Sarah is in South Africa at the moment, and thankfully we managed to see her and the kids today before they jet back to Uganda.  The original plans were to meet up at Lemon Rose Farm, but we thought that it would be closed this weekend; so I invited everyone to our house for a...
