Sivan turns 9 !

Sivan celebrated his 9th birthday with some of his friends - a sleepover at home!

Sandy Cape - Family Get-Away - Anzac Day (25April)

We took a few days off and drove up to Sandy Cape, north of Jurien. We bought a shower tent, complete with electric pump, as this site has only "long drop dunnies"! When we get the chance, we take a dip in the ocean. Here the boys take advantage of this opportunity!
Here (and below) are a couple of pics of the beach and surroundings. Last time we came here, we were covered by flies and we decided to come back and see what it looks like without these pesky creatures. It was awesome!

Sivan and Saskia used the enflatable to surf the waves.

We had the best weather one could ask for, which made it worth the while!!

Here is a view of the camp taken from one of the high dunes.

We took a 5km hike along the beach. We had some complaints from the kids, but we made it.

AVi & Jeanette's recent visit to SA

Avi & Jeanette spent a couple of weeks in SA with family and friends. Here are some pics taken with the Le Roux's (Carina, Riaan, Danie and Trudie) prior to their departure back to Turkey.

March pics and Easter Holiday in Albany (Denmark, Western Australia)

Sivan built his first little robot "bug" and very proud of "Selby".

Saskia begged to have her ears pierced...I gave in...

We went to Albany for Easter (Camping) and met up with Roelfie, Ilze and Hayzel. We did some sight seeing together. We also took the Kids to Whale World in Albany. This is a very beautiful part of Western Australia.

Sydney trip with Siggi...

Siggi joined me for a week in Sydney (Pacific 2008 exhibition - Darling Harbour). While I worked, she shopped...We met up with Gudrun (Siggi's cousin), who was our tour guide on the Saturday and Sunday. We rented a car for the weekend. It was also partially to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. We did not realise Sydney is so beautiful. We were fortunate to arrive on Australia Day, hence the fireworks below...

Avi & Jeanette's latest boat pics...

Well done to my parents for producing this custom designed boat. We think they are real cool grand-parents!

Siggi's mom arrived!

Siggi's mom arrived safely. She will be spending about 3 months with us...
