Jade 9 months...

I was thinking of alot of things to say about Jade turning 9 months! Because there is so much to say about her and how greatful we are for God for our miracle.

Saturday was her 9 month birthday and Oupa Brian said the perfect words to describe her. He looked at her and said to me she reminds him of Bostick. At first I didnt understand, then he said:

"She is the glue that keeps everyone together"

How special is that and how true...she is the glue that keeps us all toghether!

Jade...

We all love you so much, the list of people who treasure you is endless. How do we thank God for someone so special...we can only show gratitude by returning the love to Him our Father.

We hope you will always be this loving happy person you are today! Thank you for the joy your bring into all our lives, you truly are a blessing! :-)

We love you always and forever...

Always remember Oupa's words...You are the glue that keeps us all together.

May God be with you, protect you and guide you all the days of your life...

Mamma & Dadda

Thank you Lord

Thank you dear Lord for the gift of motherhood.
This is such a blessed and dignified vocation.

Lord, we often forget just how much you trust us,
by giving one of your precious children into our care.

Please help us always to appreciate the importance of being a mother.
Amen

Look how cute my 2 teeth are! :-)

Beautiful Jade...

Although the weekend away was amazing...there was a piece of my heart that was always back here in Pretoria.
Jade stayed with Granny Irene on Thursday evening, then Friday after work Ouma Nettie went to fetch her and she spend the weekend with her. I am sure spoiled rotten by both.

I didnt realize how much I missed her until I held her in my arms again on Sunday, it was so overwhelming that tears were running down my cheeks without stop...

I know I say this alot, but I can not Thank GOD enough for his precious miracle, for giving us to each other!

Children and mothers never truly part -
Bound in the beating of each other's heart.

Our First Anniversay! :-)

We went to the Kruger Park!!!!!

Was the most amazing weekend...Myself and William haven't had time together alone for such a long time, so every second this weekend was treasured!
I only found out we are stying in the Park when we got there, first when we came close he asked me if I would like to take a drive in the Park before we go to the place we are sleeping (knowing that I LOVE THE PARK and would ofcourse say YES!!!). Then we went into Paul Kruger gate, drove up to Olifants camp, when we got there, he gave me the booking and said if you open this you will know where we are going and it said - 2 nights accomodation at Olifants!! I WAS SO HAPPY!!

We were very lucky, we saw lots of animals! The first day, we saw 4 of the Big 5 and on Sunday again 4 of them. Buffalo, Lion, Elephant & Rino's - just not leapords. Also saw lots of other animals, Giraffe, Zebra, Hippo's, "weer bokkie", Waterbuck, Fish eagle, Vultures, Wildebeest, Steenbokkies, Kudu and lots more...

But the best time of the weekend was spending every minute with William - just me and him! This weekend I just realized again how lucky I am to have him as a husband and friend, I know we were meant to be together!

“The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”

Going away for our Anniversary!

Hi All,

Can you believe Saturday is our 1 year anniversary!!! How amazing is that? Even more so, how quickly did a year pass by?!

William is taking me away and I dont have a clue where we going....it's a suprise!!! YEAH!!! I LOVE SUPRISES!!!!! :-) I really really can't wait to spend the weekend with him, its going to be amazing...so the place we going to, wherever it might be, is just a bonus!

Just some reason's why William is the best husband in the world:

He instinctively knows when I need chocolate and a back rub, and delivers.

He listens, I mean really listens.

He understands the value of retail therapy. (lol)

He encourages my passions.

He makes sure I get time to myself.

He gives me computer lessons.

He appreciates my strengths and accepts my failings.

He helps me make the beds in the morning and helps me wash dishes in the evening, even though that’s my hangup and not his.

He knows what I’m going to say before I do.

He’s a loving, involved father.

He doesn’t expect me to cook, and is wildly appreciative when I do.

He loves God.

He still makes me laugh.

He is my best friend

And have you seen those baby blue eyes???

I am so blessed to have him as a husband, and so is Jade to have him as a father!

Will, thank you for everything you do for me and Jade, thank you for your unconditional love, thank you for your support, thank you for being my best friend!!
I love you always and forever! Tash(aka Michelle and Mandy)
