November Notes

Seeing as it's already half way December, I should really knock up a post on things that have been happening last month, so here goes...

First a few odds and sods...All the girls out for dinner for Kaffa's hen's night...

...and then to her and Mike's new house for coffee and cake


Devon learnt to sit properly...

...and to commando crawl -now he's into everything!

And some photos from a braai (BBQ) we had at Dad and Mum's before Charlene
left for Melbourne for a couple of weeks

with my gorgeous sister Renee

Justin, Ronald (Willem's friend from SA), Renee and Albert (cousin) roasting marshmallows

"Stop it! Don't! Eeeek" is all you'll hear from Charlene

Busselton
Rod has been working off and on in Busselton for the last 4 weeks. Most weeks he'd be there for just 3 days or so, but one time he had to be there for the whole week, so we decided to join him. It gets kinda lonely at home by yourself, well, especially in the evenings.
We stayed in a self-contained unit that shared a back yard full of play equipment with another unit and was just a hop, skip and jump from the beach. Couldn't have asked for better!

Tuesday was perfect beach weather so that's where we spent the day. Wednesday we looked around town in the morning and then walked to the beach in the afternoon. Thursday we went and visited Annette Bergsma who lives in Bunbury, a half drive from Busselton. Hannah also came down from Perth that day so it was good to catch up with both of them. And then Friday it was time to head home again! All in all, a nice week away from the usual.

beach all to ourselves

The trampoline got well used

An outing to the beach wouldn't be the same without ice-cream!

They are busy rebuilding the jetty and Olivia would've
been quite happy to sit there and watch the crane all day

Rod and Olivia shooting hoops in the backyard.

The other little girl is Leyla from the family that
were staying in the unit next to us.

loving all the action

3 handsome young lads: Luke Bruning, Devon and Damien Bergsma
Age wise, Luke and Devon are only 2 days apart and
Damien's about a month older

Rod's job site - they're building a multi purpose hall for a private school down there.
They stood the panels last week so he won't be going back down again this year :-)
