Here it is!!

As I said in my last post, Colin and I flew up to Pretoria on 7 July to attend a cocktail party where Colin received his award. Pretty good I think!! He had a much larger audience than expected on the Wednesday when he presented his paper.

Another important thing that also happened on 7 July was that Richard (my cute 18 year old) got his drivers lisence. Well done Richard! He is now driving us crazy with wanting to go out with his friends. Fortunately he puts his own petrol in, I think the attendants at the garage knows him already as he puts such small amounts in at a time! Him having a lisence is actually very cool as he also goes shopping for me and fetches his sister after hockey - less driving for me!

And believe it or not, that is about all that has happened this past 2 weeks! I am very pleased that the kids are back at school as I have peace in the mornings now, but besides that it is pretty much life as usual.

Overview of my week

The cousins slept over on Saturday night and we couldn't help but take this picture of Keagan sitting in the basket with Jessie! It is a good reminder of when Robyn was 1 year old. She climbed into the basket with my mother-in-law's dog Jack and we also took a photo of that! This is Jack's old basket that we got when Jack died a few years ago. I think I am going to do a LO about the two photos! (If I can find the other one that is, otherwise I will scan the one I gave my mother in law) I will give her a copy of this one as well, maybe she will remember .....

Colin phoned me with great news on Monday - he won the award for submitting the best paper for the annual engineering seminar! He has to fly up on 7 July to receive the award and has decided to take me with! He will be presenting the paper at the seminar on 9 July - well done Colin, I am proud of you!

I took Jamie outside with me on Tuesday when I hung up the washing. She promptly decided to climb up onto the washing line and had a great time "sunning" herself! And don't worry, I did check the washing very carefully for "landmines" afterwards. Took her out again this morning, but I think she was to cold and decided to stay on my shoulder.

I had absolutely nothing to look forward to today when I got up except having cake at Limnos with Colin tonight, but now after reading all the blogs I am inspired to have some photos printed for a LO or 2 - thank you guys!
