January 2011 so far

I was trying to get this posted before we went on holidays but that never happened, but anyhow, here are a few photos of what's been happening here this past month...

On the 2nd of January we could witness the baptism of Damon Arien Veenendaal. Proud Opa was allowed to hold him in church :)

the beaming parents

with the sisters

and a good opportunity to try and get an updated
family photo ... mission impossible I think!

------------------------------------------

We had a very exciting event early in the month...

our first egg!

anymore in there?

Out of the five chooks we're getting one a day, so hopefully the others start laying soon too.

------------------------------------

I've been giving the sewing machine (and my sewing skills) a bit of a work out the last few weeks, sewing new curtains for the camper. Sewing 4 seams on 10 curtains takes longer than you think.

Or maybe that's only if your name is Erica van der Schaaf...

But it was a good learning experience for me :)

measure, fold pin, sew, measure, fold, pin sew...

with my little supervisor

Cooling off with a swim and some watermelon

holiday pics coming soon...

It's Monday
It's raining - YAY!!!
Olivia is sleeping - YAY to that too
I chopped all my hair off on Saturday...eeek!
Daylight saving is finished! It was dark at 7pm last night; weird!
It's wintry...I love it, I might head for my bed too. Olivia was awake at 5 this morning, snoozed for a bit till 6, didn't take her Dad's advice on going back to sleep, so got to go in bed with Mum till it was a sane time to get up (only b/c her Mum was sick of listening to her whinge and whine). So I'm feeling a bit sleepy...
Anyway, here's some pics from Saturday night. The van der Veen tribe had a BBQ at Paul and Heidi's place for Renee's b'day. (They might be put on one per day b/c the connection is soooo slow.)
