Happy New Year....

The Carr Family wish you all a healthy and happy 2007.

Here are a few snaps from our time in the Eastern Cape. Many thanks to Cheryl for hosting us so well over Christmas (and for taking care of Josh superbly whilst we were in Cape Town) and to Jane, Julian and Kim for looking after us in Gonubie. It was great catching up with everyone. Josh particularly loved feeding the giraffes, paddling in the lagoons, mooching around the beaches and bonding with Des, his Grannies, cousins, uncles and aunts.

We have returned to a green pool and long grass but nothing that cannot be sorted... Bailey is back from the kennels looking slim and trim and is going in for his "de-nutting" op on Monday. Our thoughts will be with him. Lawrence and Elsie check in tomorrow and it will be good to hear of their respective festive season adventures.

8 weeks to go until our final member of the front row arrives - we are very excited.

New Years guess the baby name competition : You stand to win a pop up toaster with "three prong plug comes standard" if you correctly predict our new additions name by submitting your guesses as a comment to this site (see "comment" option below). No more then three name guesses per entrant will be allowed. As a steer, the names Edgar and Baksteen, whilst both elegant, do not appear on our shortlist, at this stage. The winner/s will be announced mid March and the judges decision will be final. Lawrence will audit the submissions and result for transparency. Good luck.

Take care and thanks for visiting.
