Our Scottburgh Holiday

finally after 3 weeks of trying to get the tooth out, Logan just pulled it out on 9 Jan!

now its your turn Mama


Deqlan took a great liking to this couple playing with a ball and bat on the beach and he tried to play with them for 15 minutes and eventually i had to take him away screaming cause he wanted to stay and play!

Brother and sister chilling in the sand Logs and I

Deqlan and me

Logan and Dad on our last visit to the beach before coming home

the most stunning photo of just Deqlan and Logan- i had to take the photo real quick as you know, Deqlan doesnt sit still!

us three!

Deqlan and Mama

Good as gold, for at least a minute or 2!

our boy sin blue on one of our shopping trips to the scottburgh mall

walking around croc world, Logan had an absolute ball, Bev gave her a great lesson on crocodiles before we went so she was very prepared

swimming buddies

Conrad and Logs going for swim - well at least trying to, the sea was way to rough that people were only allowed to get knee deep, we saw several people being silly and baywatch scenes playing out in front of us!

The best place to sleep, on the beach , with the cool ocean breeze, the sound of the sea, on my mamas lap...

instead of a dummy , Deqlan took a real liking to Logans shoes, there is a plastic bit at the back that he loves to suck on, and this actually put him to sleep!

sleep time

i cant believe i actually got mark to smile for a photo so i had to put this on!

i love this photo, pure joy

the spectacular view from Sophies house! thank you so much Sophie for letting us enjoy your beautiful home, we cant wait to go again

Logs shoe in Deqlan mouth, again!

what a beautiful day, what a stunning holiday

my boys

best friends

how grown up has Logan gotten? What a lovely personality she has, so caring and thoughtful

taking Dad for a walk, we couldnt actually put our towels and stuff fast enough, as soon as we got to the beach, Deqlan would grab our hands and just pull us to get into the sea- he has no fear for the sea, its a definite love, my little surfer boy!

Deqlan was delighted to find this train ride at the local shopping centre. He kept wanting to go back and even tried to get another little girl off the ride so he could go again!

enthralled with Teletubbies eating tubby toast, one of Deqlans favorite dvds

i think my favorite photo ever of Logan and Mark

Deqlan has really warmed up to Logan and even went to her a few times to grab her by the hand to sit her together with Mark and I - he understands the four of us are a unit and we should all sit together, to sweet to see

keaton enjoying Logans jet ski

im still hungry Mom!

smiley boy and me!

Keaton really became best friends with Logan - they love each other and his entire face lights up when he sees her, they had loads of fun together and i am sure loads more to come. Logan is fantastic with him and walked everywhere with him and tried to make him laugh every moment of every day

our family

i could ask for nothing more.....

tired boy!

the kids enjoying building castles, actually the boys enjoying eating sand

idols promoting the new season at Scottburgh beach, i was tempted to give it a go, but changed my mind,my throat wasnt warmed up properly! ha ha ha ha

enjoying the beach, you can see how muddy the sea was - from all the rain, the rivers flowing into the sea, bringing lots of mud with it, another day of not swimming!

please meggie help me get this tooth out, i want the tooth fairy to come while we are on holiday! meggie really tried, every night....

Keaton LOVED this tap and hosepipe

Meggie popping the champagne a few seconds before midnight on New Years eve

To 2009, a year we pray for continued health and healing for Deqlan, for love and laughter and true happiness, and the cure for neuroblastoma and childhood cancer

Loren Megs and I , this was at 11pm when all the kids were eventually in bed, we had just finished enjoying a delicous Conrad potjie- you can see we are all mommies now, as soon as we said our Happy New Years, off to bed we went! We not used to staying up so late anymore!

Was great to have Loren and Darryl join us for new Years, and it was a gift to spend some quality time with the gorgeous mr Kai who was full of smiles!

Mr and Mr Guiness

Conrad and Darryl started the 'tea' drinking tradition
