No, it was not just to get your attention, we are REALLY moving to Johannesburg! The most asked questions when I tell anyone this really shocking sudden news ...
WHY? My amazing husband got the most incredible offer from a company in Johannesburg to be the new CEO of a company called On Demand. They're based in Bryanston, which is most probably were we will end up living. It was an offer we could not turn down. One thing I have learnt out of this whole experience ... NEVER say NEVER ... I "never" thought I would EVER move back to Joburg and probably told that to a million and one people, but here we go ...
and the second most asked question:
WHEN? Well, John is starting his new position mid-January, and if we have sold our beautiful house in Cape Town and bought an even more spectacular house :) in Joburg by that time, we will be there mid-January, otherwise we will probably be between Joburg and Cape Town, sorting out the sale of our house and getting all our stuff moved to our new adventure!
Adventure it is ... our new adventure with our beautiful baby boy!
So, seeing as our time as Capetonians are running low, we decided to make a list of everything we still need to see and places we would like to visit. If you have any ideas, please let us know, we don't want to miss anything! :) Now our weekends are packed and we're spending as much time as a little family before John commits himself to his new company!
The past few weeks, we've been ...
Troy went for his injections, it was HORRIBLE, I think I cried more than him. It's a totally different cry, when they are in pain.
Our little baba's legs after his ouch! His legs were pretty swollen, but a little bit of arnica oil quickly sorted it out!
To keep with tradition, Oupa came to visit for Halloween. That same day we received a little pressie from his Uncle Boets in France ... the cutest little Addidas takkies! How styling! They're still way to big, but we still made him wear them for a few min to take a few photies!
How adorable ...
Happy with his Oupa.
Playing under his jungle gym thingie!

Who's the cutest little homeboy in his Baby Gap outfit?
He pulls himself up when you hold his hands and he's sooooo proud of himself afterwards with HUGE smiles.
I went to visit my mom's sister Cornelia and introduced my little bundle to his Great-Grandmother and Great-Grandfather.
With Cornelia
John plays waterpolo every Tuesday and matches every Thursday, so last Thursday Troy and I went to support his daddy in the cold.
Dressed for the cold poolside.
(This little outfit was also the first outfit I bought when I found out I was pregnant ... must have had a feeling deep down inside that I was going to have a little boy!)
With daddy after the match.
So proud of his little froggie!
Who's the cool dude with the shades? Posing with daddy and some of his teammates.
On Friday, the 6th, it was Noons' (Marc's sister) surprise sweet 16th birthday party.
Happy Birthday Noons, we hope you had the best surprise EVA!
Lauren and the sleeping beauty!

Saturday night we went to Garth's 30th, another cold and rainy night away from home, so the little frog had to be dressed up in his little bear outfit!
Our beautiful little bear!
We had the Cape Town Two Oceans Aquarium on our Cape Town "bucket list" ... so on Monday we ticked it off with Marc, Lauren, Tam (Marc's sister) and her little Georgia. But before the Aquarium, we had to stop off at Charlies Bakery ... another Cape Town MUST! What a fun day out!
Marc & Lauren at Charlies.
Mommy's cuppa and Troy's bikkie ... mommy and daddy helped him finish it!

The lovely couple!
We saw these seals at the Waterfront and they had these red rings around their necks. At first it looked like collars, but after a good stare, we realised it was blood, perfect red flesh wounds. Then we saw this board explaining the wounded seals ... how tragic!
Keep our seas clean!!!

We've been blessed with so much love, friendship and so many amazing memories. We wake up every morning excited about another beautiful day with the most perfect family!
Lots of love, light and sooooo much happiness,
The Woollams!
