Saskia's academic award

We are proud of Saskia for winning the 2008 academic award!

September Interschool Sports and other activities

Sivan and Saskia participated in this years interschools. Sivan came 2nd in the 60m race. Unfortunately Saskia is not as fast as brother Sivan and didn't make it onto the podium.

Here we are out on a Cycle around the Swan River. Saskia managed to keep up OK after a 10km ride!



Father's Day! What a treat...

Sivan turns 9 !

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

Saskia's Merit Award / Student Achievement Reports

It makes us glad when our children receive awards for their progress - Well done Saskia for being a 'conscientious and caring' class member !

Both Sivan and Saskia's 'Student Achievement Reports' arrived today and again, we are proud of their progress and the good report received!

The Bunnies did not work out - how about Guinea Pigs!

We went for a drive this morning and "surprised" the kids with 2 Guinea Pigs. Saskia has been talking about these critters for some time now, even hinting by getting library books about them! I present to you Pig 1 and Pig 2 (they must still be named):

Crazy Hair day at Awana!

Sivan and Saskia enjoyed a crazy hair day at their usual Awana Friday evening club

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.

Family time away - Jurien Bay - Sivan's Merit award

We drove north again to Jurien Bay, but our camping was cut short due to extreme windy conditions. We decided to return and spend some time off at home which was a good break...

Sivan received a Merit Award for making progress in time management and completing all assignments on time.

I occasionally go out with Roelof and his boat. I tend to rather spear fish than wait for the fish to bite...
