Callyn climbed the only possible tree he could in the garden and he is actually sitting on the branch and not the wall!

The new love of Donovan's life - I have been replaced!!!!! This is his new time trial bike.

Jordy got new pj's yesterday as the weather suddenly turned a bit chilly!

Cutie!

Breakfast Bottle!

I thought these two looked so gorgeous cuddled up together on the couch watching TV whilst drinking their morning bottles!

Trampoline

Callyn and Jordy got a new trampoline yesterday so I built it for them today!

Callyn nagged for days for us to get one because the occupational therapist said that both kids were physically advanced and needed a trampoline to satisfy certain needs. She said it would probably stop Callyn from jumping off furniture and high places! So when daddy agreed to get one, monkey asked for it every day until I bought it yesterday. But then it was raining yesterday so we had to wait until today to build it!

So guess what we'll be doing for the next few days!!!

Little shopper!

Now that Jordy is walking, she can wear pretty skirts and dresses. This outfit is from Nana and Grandpa!

We discovered yesterday that she loves a handbag - typical little girl!

This handbag was mine for my matric dance!

Funny face!

Riding Bikes

Callyn is such a sweetie and takes Jordy for spins on his Barney Bike and his Harley!

Jordy loves it!

Look at her face!

More Callyn, more!

Adoptia Weekend

We went to Die Oewer this weekend for a camp with Adoptia - a support group of parents who have adopted kids. It is great as all the kids get on so well and the bigger ones look after the little ones and play with them. It is also wonderful for the parents as we learn from the older ones as to how to handle situations that may arise for example, our children getting teased at school because they are adopted, what to do when they ask about birth parents etc. Anyway, Jordy started this new thing where she scrunches up her nose and mouth and sniffs. It is too cute but she knows she is cute because she laughs afterwards!!!!

A big open-mouth kiss for Daddy!

Callyn loves licking the cake batter!

Callyn took Jordy for a ride at Pretty Garden Nursery in a mini jeep! She loved it!!!

Callyn in action!

Another strange place to fall asleep in the middle of the day!!!! Callyn wanted to listen to his CD from Kindermusic so I put it into the computer and he was listening and watching the screen which had a screen saver with weird shapes and movements and when I looked again he was asleep!

Birthday flowers from New Zealand- thanks all the Engelkes!

Callyn and Jordy had a wonderful time in the rain water that had collected on top of the pool cover!

Dirty Children!

Donovan washed his bike outside and afterwards Callyn played in the dirty water! What a job to get that oil and grease off him!

But he had such fun!

Jordy mixed a bit of porridge with sand today and she also had a lot of fun!

OOoh Callyn!!!!

Today was the day that Jordy officially walked! She has been taking a few steps for over a month now but today she got up by herself and walked 5 to 6 steps! She did this a number of times and thought she was hysterical!

She also clapped for the first time today! We were watching Callyn riding his bicycle outside and she copied me when I clapped for him! She has been waving for a couple of weeks as well!

My beautiful nieces and nephews in New Zealand - clockwise from bottom : Abby, Archer, Adam, Joel and Jubi

Hard at work cleaning his playroom!

Callyn loves to vacuum and takes his job very seriously!

After the playroom he insisted on moving up to Jordy's room!
