Time flies when you're having fun ...


Who ever said that the first time ... well, they knew what they were talking about! I'm sorry I haven't written or posted any photos on my blog in such a long time. I was surprised to find how many people follow my blog when I got a crazy amount of messages telling me to "PLEASE UPDATE YOUR BLOG, WE ALREADY KNOW YOU'RE MOVING TO JOBURG"!

So without waiting any longer!

This is going to be a pretty long post, 'cause as you all know, I haven't "blogged" in over a month!

Seeing as we have a "bucket list" of last minute thing we need to do before we leave for Jo'burg, we try do something fun every single week and every single weekend.

A few Sundays ago, we decided to visit the craft markets in our area, first stop ... Hout Bay Craft Market.

John and a fast asleep Troy in his pram

Awake after his snooze

We drove back over the newly opened Chapmans Peak to get home, still one of the most beautiful roads I have EVER been on, with the most amazing views.



Woollam Craziness!



The beautiful Hout Bay in the background!


The Woollam's first little road trip, although just around the peninsula!

Next stop ... Muizenburg Market!

Yip, that is the little frog in there .... luckily sleeping, 'cause Muizenburg Market is not a pretty market, definitely not the kind of market you want strangers touching your little baba!!

On our way back .... THE REASON I LOVE OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY!

So without the cliche of saying "my child is the smartest or cutest or prettiest", I have to say, Troy is the smartest, cutest and prettiest little boy alive!!!
Here at 2 months, little Troy is actually holding his own bottle!!!


The cutest little monkey EVER!


This next photo was taken about a month ago, now Troy will NEVER fit on John's arm and if he did, his arm might just break off! Our boy has grown sooooo much!


With Neil

Our other little boy sleeping in the pram! How cute is little Tiger!

This little monkey absolutely LOVES bath time, how cute!

Such a happy boy!

After bath time, with daddy just before his night time massage!

Every morning the little frog sleeps with his daddy for an hour or so ... how cute!

Summer time and the frog LOVES swimming, so daddy bought him a new boat!

Before knowing the Woollams are moving to Jo'burg, Rose and Debs planned a trip down to Cape Town to come visit us and meet troy.

We decided to give Troy his Christmas pressie almost a full month before Christmas ... we just couldn't wait any longer and thank goodness for that, cause he absolutely LOVES it!

We had a little surprise for Franny. One of the activities were to draw a live male nude. Luckily he kept his Woollies undies on, although really old with a few holes!
Check out how RED Franny is ... poor thing!

Then we were off to Jo'burg. John had to go to work for 2 days and I went to go look for houses.
Unfortunately I found 2 houses I LOVED, but didn't even have time to show John before someone else snapped them up. So back to square one!

"The 09 delivers the best of both: freshness & green fig styling plus satisfying smooth roundness."

The happiest, healthiest, friendliest boy in the world!

Every single day we look into our beautiful boy's blue eyes, we realise how blessed we are and how grateful we are to be parents. He is the light of our lives and we can't imagine a day without him!

Lots of love ...
