Daniel turns 2

That chocolate cake was YUMMY!

King for a day...

We've had a busy time lately with Nath being away for the first 2-week block of his MBA at Rhodes, me settling into my teaching again at Selborne and the kids adjusting to a new school (Josh) and new nanny (Danny is now very ably looked after by Beauty in the mornings until I get home from school around 12.30ish). We are happy to report that all four of us are doing well - except Nath who is suffering from a tummy bug at the moment, but we are happy to have him home nonetheless!!!
Today is Daniel's 2nd birthday so we celebrated by having a party at home this morning. I have been doing anti-rain dances for days (sorry farmers, I know times are dry at the moment over here!) but there just was no plan B if it rained today... Fortunately my prayers were answered and we had a lovely cool, dry day for our party. All went well and a good time was had by all. Dan was a bit overwhelmed as he tends to prefer smaller crowds, hence the scrumming against mommy in the pic above in objection to having to blow out his candles...!

Josh and Rebekah again - could this be first love?

Great having the "next generation" of Rhodents with us:

Ben (son of Cris and Jane Reago de Dios), Josh (Rory and Ang

Hashick) and Matthew (Grant and Mary lou Berndt).

Granny Pie made these cute little spiders...

... and the awesome cake for our "bug" party.
(thanks Mom!) x
