Not only was Saturday the World Cup Rugby Final 2007, but it was Zara's given due date by Prof Jeffery and Prof Nicoloau. So, knowing how much her Dad wanted o watch the World Cup Rugby Finals, our daughter planned her entry into the world, allowing us three weeks to settle into parenting and make it possible for us to enjoy our first night out to watch the South Africa win the trophy.
Having spent the past three weeks at home, it was time to face the outside world, so we started the day off with a hearty breakfast at Fournos down the road. We then went on to do some grocery shopping and look for an appropriate outfit to show our support for SA in the rugby finals. Chris already had a rugby jersey so it was Zara we needed to kit out. Not one shop seemed to think that parents may want their newborns in a rugby jersey so by chance we went into "Buddy Bear"... Low and behold there was the perfect size rugby jersey for Zara. "Buddy Bear" is the same concept as "Build a Bear". Kids go to the shop and make their own teddy bears and then they can dress them too ~ hence the clothing. The shop assistant thought I was crazy buying teddy bears clothing for my newborn baby. When I got home, I had to make a minor adjustment to the neck line so that it would fit over Zara's head.
Zara, cause quite a stir at the restaurant in her ama bokke bokke outfit and was named the lucky charm of the evening by our table. It was a lovely evening out and Zara was as good as gold!

She must be the youngest Bokke supporter ever and looks SO cute in the shirt. I love the expression on her face ... the wrinkles on her forehead seem to express her concern as to the outcome of the match.
Very cute... we've held off giving Leo his b/day present early... I'm sure the pain of England losing will still be felt in 6 weeks time :-)
Zara says; 'Frankley, I don't give a nappy load about SASOL, but the BOKS are going to win.
YEEEEEH!!!!'
Hi Thanks for a SUPER story - I have manged to upload most of the pictures but for some reason the file won't take any more!!!Some of these photos have already been sent all around the world - our table companions on the ship were every interested when we announced at dinner in Boston that Zara had arrived and a toast was drunk - so they have now got a photo of her in San Francisco!!
Lots of Luv
