A quick update

-

We had a wonderful time at Kruger Park with my parents. We saw a lot of animals, including wild dogs, which are pretty rare. The weather was great, our lodge was amazing and we all kept busy and had loads of fun. Tyson and Jori made friends at both places we stayed and they both said their new friends were the best thing about our holiday. Too bad they don’t live in Hammanskraal…

Today (Monday) is Oarabile’s 3rd birthday. She had such a fun day and was so excited about every part of it; the balloons, the singing, the hat, her new dress and of course, the cake! She ended up eating close to two pieces as Papa John couldn’t resist her charm and kept feeding her from his plate : ) After supper Miss O and Neo went on a game drive with Darin and all the aunties. Miss O has gone on game drives before, but this was Neo’s first experience. The girls said he was so excited to see the animals that he was almost climbing out the window.

Our newest arrival, Happy, left today. He came about 3 weeks ago after his mom left him at the police station. They had no information on him, not his name, age or anything. So we made guesses on most stuff and called him Happy because the name fit him. We will all miss having our little cuddle bug here, but we are thankful that he had an auntie who was willing and able to take care of him.

Tomorrow we are heading to Bela Bela! We will be gone until Wednesday late afternoon/evening. The kids are super excited to go on the water slides and Gram is super excited for the hot mineral spring pools. This is the last “holiday” that we are taking with my parents, but thankfully they still have almost 2 more weeks with us still!

The little ones all seem to have colds again. The runny noses, coughing and general crabbiness is back for now, but hopefully it will clear up quickly. Ok, who am I kidding; we will probably never have a fully healthy household again!

Happy Monday to you all!

When we had made the decision to uproot our lives in the US and move to South Africa, I was so hungry for information about what living in South Africa would look like. We had been to South Africa several times as a couple, Darin had come on work trips, and we had spent 10 weeks here with our children. We knew some people, had been into various shops, and had a familiarity with the sounds of English being spoken with a variety of accents. However, there is a big difference between leaving home to visit a place for a few weeks or months and entirely uprooting your life in one place to start over in another. What were the schools like, would I have access to familiar ingredients to cook with, what about healthcare?  I scoured the internet to find stories about living in South Africa and found a few women who were more than happy to answer my questions, however random and weird they were. There was Annie, an American living in Pretoria, whose entire blog I read in one day and when Darin c

Family Fun Friday

We have almost reached the end of the winter holiday. Tyson and Jori go back to school on Wednesday. We have some fun activities planned for the next few days, but we will also be cleaning bedrooms and setting out uniforms and lunch boxes. Let the school fun begin! Overall, it has been a fun holiday. Tyson and Jori have both had school friends over to play, we've made it to church twice, we've been out for pizza, had donuts, did some baking, and more. Friday, however, was probably the highlight of the school holidays for us. The day started with Jori losing her first tooth! Our baby girl is growing up. We had a few errands to run and took the kids with us. While Darin was busy at Cashbuild ordering supplies for an upcoming building project at TYB, Tyson, Jori and I went to Pick N Pay and King Pie for a little treat. We shared with Darin, of course. We spent a few hours at home, then headed out at 3 for our big adventure. We drove slowly and took a mini game drive on

More thoughts on motivation

-
When I look back at the decision making process that Darin and I went through, the process which has now brought us so close to a departure date, I have little doubt that Darin felt a call and responded to this call. Yet, when I go back over the different thought processes I went through to get us to this point, I realize that it has been all about me, which might explain why I am now suffering from some "buyer's remorse". It's not that my motivations for moving were necessarily wrong in themselves-I hope that Darin and I will be closer as a couple, I hope that our family will be closer and will do more together, I hope that Tyson will thrive in this new environment, I hope that our family will be able to reach out and help those that we come into contact with, I hope that Darin will be home more often and able to be a bigger part of our family life. Yet as we get closer, these hopes seem to be such small reasons to go. It's not like moving to a new country is goi
