2013 Discovery 702 Walk The Talk

This years Discovery 702 Walk the Talk was great! 

A well-organised event with an atmosphere that was Proudly South African and buzzing every step of the way.  We did the 8km walk this year and I got burnt to a crisp.  My sister and her clan going us this year so it was a fun family event.  

Next year my hubby and Kaylin will join us.  We want to socialise our dogs and have them walk with us too.  

Here's our day in pictures.

A Visit from My Sister

My sister, Janie and her partner Mick and their little Claire Janie (who is now 4 month old) came to visit today.  I took some pix.

Sunday Stuff

Yesterday we had friends over for a braai and it was lovely to have friends altogether. The girls were in the Jacuzzi most of the day and we karaoked with the Black Eyed Peas. My sister, Janie and Mick came over with Claire too, which was lovely.


Here are some of the pix

Doesn't she look trendy-o?!?!

I'm sure you've all read by now that our shopping spree was a success. 

Love the tartan pumps.

Missed Opportunity

I sent Janie (my big sis who's just had a baby girl) a text message on Thursday night to tell her that I'm thinking about her having to get up in the middle of the night for what she calls "Claire Care". We're having a really cold winter and it can't be easy getting out of your warm bed to bare your breast to the icy breeze for feeds and midnight nappy changes. I told her that she can let me know when she needs a night off.

My kids both sleep like the dead from 8pm until 6:30am so I'm well rested in the morning. I was thinking about Janie's sleep deprivation and remember how hard it was having to cope the next day with only a few hours sleep. My heart went out to her.

I was so busy at work on Friday. I saw I had a response from Janie and opened it...saw how long the message was and thought to myself "I'll read it later so I can give my FULL attention to it". And of course... I got busy at work and forgot about the message. Shame on me! SHAME ON ME!!!

I only read the message this morning and she did in fact want my help and wanted me to baby sit last night!!!!!

Now I missed out on babysitting Claire last night and giving Janie the night off!!!

I feel awful that I missed her text message...

How can I make it up to her???

I'm so cross with myself. I make her an offer and then she takes it and I didn't get the message....

I feel like a dawg!!!

My Beautiful Pregnant Sister

Went to Janie's place yesterday to take pix of her and Mick and her beautiful bump. She is now 32 weeks pregnant and looking so beautiful. Here are a couple of the 200 odd pix that I took. It was such fun doing it and such a pleasure to be a part of some of their special moments together.

Look at the love in this pix

Just stunning...
