Look how strong I am

Strong boy

I have been a little scarce lately, it’s been a little manic here this week, and this weekend is more than a little hectic too.  Hopefully I’ll be able to get through my blog reader next week, and post a little more

Lazy Sunday afternoon with friends

Mid air

Madi and her family came over for a braai on Sunday, and it was the first time this summer that we’ve really been able to use the pool (it was kinda outta action for a while).  The kids had a blast as you can see…
While Bradley and Andrew were taking turns jumping into the pool…

I love the light and the editing you have done on these photos, really evocative.

Ha. you know I always look at your photos but I find it hard to comment without going all gushy and “oooooh jeanette, they’re GORGEOUS” every time.

Meriel - November 11, 2009 - 8:06 am

“Little friends” is gorgeous-est

Corey~livingandloving (46 comments.) - November 11, 2009 - 7:39 am

it is always on interesting post for me when I realize you are going into summer.

I know it seems dumb to you, but would you consider doing a post on here or the other blog, about what it is like to have Christmas in a summer environment. I mean….what is on the wrapping paper, and the decorations? snowmen? and penguins? I’m so curious!

Madelein (24 comments.) - November 11, 2009 - 7:16 am

Lol- those toy catalogues are still going to be the death of me. And how sweet is our two littlies??

Avril (Mom) (275 comments.) - November 11, 2009 - 6:51 am

Lovely!!! Connor told me that Carmen is his ‘best friend’ !!

Karin (116 comments.) - November 10, 2009 - 11:09 pm

Wow, what lovely sunny weather! The weather in the Cape is totally horrendous at the moment – no sign of summer anywhere. It’s hard to believe that you are having such great days while we are fighting the storms over here – enjoy!!

Tanya (80 comments.) - November 10, 2009 - 11:07 pm

What a gorgeous day – love the one of Connor and Carmen :)

Mastering the pool table

Cameron in action

These have to be my favourite photos from the Lent for Liam function at Cool Runnings earlier today.  In fact, I’d go as far as to say, they’re my favourite photos in a very long time.  I think it’s because it shows the kids not worrying about my camera and having so much fun learning...

So glad to find your blog! This set is gorgeous. Very emotive processing. Love!

cat (104 comments.) - November 9, 2009 - 10:54 am

These are stunning! The concentration on the faces captured beautifully.

Firefly (250 comments.) - November 9, 2009 - 8:58 am

I love the concentration on their faces

Madelein (24 comments.) - November 9, 2009 - 7:59 am

Aaaw man- what special moments

Domestic Extraordinaire (37 comments.) - November 9, 2009 - 6:46 am

WOW! these are wonderful. I can see why you love them. so much emotion in them. fabulous. great job in the dark bar, too. How’d you do it?

Andrea Baker (1 comments.) - November 9, 2009 - 2:25 am

Looks like the boys had a great time! The photos turned out really well! Thanks for sharing your weekly winners!

Secret Agent Mama (71 comments.) - November 8, 2009 - 9:35 pm

Trying to Reach is such an astoundingly awesome picture, I am just mesmerized by it, by Bradley, by the feeling of it. xox

Susanne Van Hulst (29 comments.) - November 8, 2009 - 8:52 pm

Absolutely great shots, Jeannette! They look like little “profi’s” and I loved your little story behind :)
..and again, your little boy is adorable how he wants to play also, highly concentrated and with the help of his big brother! It’s just perfect!

Tara R. (47 comments.) - November 8, 2009 - 7:49 pm

The boys looked like they were taking their pool playing very seriously! Great shots, I love the lighting.

Avril (Mom) (275 comments.) - November 8, 2009 - 7:01 pm

Oh wow !! These are amazing photos! I can imagine Connor getting a little frustrated though, being shorter! Bradley and Cameron’s faces of concentration are brilliant! I am surprised they allowed them to play though

Jac @ Wuzzlemakesthree (1 comments.) - November 8, 2009 - 6:29 pm

All of those shots are just beautiful!

But I have to say, there is just something about kids and pool tables. I love watching kids play pool, there is nothing more fun than that!

Gilz (158 comments.) - November 8, 2009 - 6:28 pm

WOW generally the bars don’t let kids play on their pool tables. These are lovely pictures.

Merle (1 comments.) - November 8, 2009 - 8:43 am

Lent for Liam

Louisa and Leigh

I went to the Lent for Liam Thanksgiving shindig today that was held at Cool Runnings in Fourways.
Liam is the son of a local blogger, Wenchy, who has got ADHD and needs to go to remedial school.  Basically, his mom can’t afford the school fees for next year, and we’ve been raising money for him...

Jeanette (22 comments.) - November 5, 2009 - 10:09 am

@cat – It’s actually better if the weather is cloudy as there’s less glare… as long as it doesn’t rain!

cat (104 comments.) - November 5, 2009 - 10:06 am

That’s cute! Glad we still got an opening this year. Can not wait for Sunday – just hope the weather will turn before then.
