A good break at Haga-Haga.....

Some of the Heath family got away for the

weekend to Haga-Haga. We collected shells

and made shell frames. We walked on the

beach and some climbed the hill. The weather

was great and we had a relaxing time.

Spring is here!

It doesn't happen every year, but the first day of

Spring in East London was sunny and warm.

The weather has actually felt like Spring the

whole week. Today we had a picnic with

family and friends at a friend's house

(Aunty Patsy) in Abbotsford, along the Nahoon

river. Just before sunset, we went for

a walk to the beach with our dear Floyd.

Lauren enjoyed flying her kite and playing

in the sand. What a peaceful, pleasant day.

Floyd is 1 year - 7 August 09

Floyd turned 1 on Friday and we gave him a

little party with a biscuit cake & biltong and

some other treats. I am sure he knew it was his

special day. His presents were a cow hoof and

new collar & lead. He is an obedient little dog

and fits in well with our family life.

Little girls and birthday parties.......

My triplet nieces celebrated their 8th birthday party

with a H*annah Montan*a theme. I sewed silver and

gold waist coats till midnight for my nieces and for my

daughter.

The party was enjoyed by all. All the girls

tried to act like a pop star for a while.

Lauren's New room....

The theme for Lauren's 'new' room is 'Daisy & Pink'.
I purchased two new items of furniture and
re-painted most of the old furniture white. I sewed
cushions, cloths and daisies. She is so happy to
finally have a pink room.[click on photos to enlarge]





BEFORE PICTURE:

The Birthday Tea Party.....

Lauren had some friends around for a Tea Party at home.
They enjoyed cupcakes made by Aunty Alli and had fun
making their own tea. 'Pass the parcel' party game was
played and a little Treasure hunt took place. Each girl
took home a little PVC bag in the shape of a Tea pot,
with some goodies and sweets inside.

Our little girl is 6 years old today!

Six years ago on the 21 May 2003 at 20h20 Lauren was

born at St Doms hospital. A bright bonny girl to Charlene

and Dean. She is now in Grade 0 and is really enjoying

'big' school. She likes playing with her dolls and toys.

She recently got her own dog and she loves him so much.

Lauren has also asked for her room to be all pink,

so mom has to do the room make-over(pics to follow)

from all Lemon & white to Pink & white. She spends

her afternoons playing in the garden with her dog and

on cool days, in her room upstairs. We love spending

time with her and she makes sure we do.

Weekend at the Sea......

We went away for the long weekend with some of Dean's

family to a holiday house at Haga-Haga. It was a lovely

weekend... really relaxing and the weather was great!

The children had a fun time fishing in the rock pools and

collecting shells.
