All the way from America

Hard times can also bring good times.... Sue has decided to come out from America to see Graham & Heather! Although the circumstances are not the greatest we are all so pleased we will get to see her. More importantly though is, that Zara will finally get to meet her "Aunt Suzie"! All this, on her SIX month birthday!!!

As if seeing Sue is not a spoiling enough, Zara has been given the most wonderful clothes from America - she certainly looks set to be a well dressed babe this winter - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

So, the plan is for Sue to spend a night or 2 in Jozi. I will then drive her down to Hilton for a week. While Sue spends time with her folks, Zara and I will go on to Durban to see my family. Chris will then join us in Durbs, we'll go up to Hilton for 2 nights and then bring Sue back to Jozi to see the rest of the family.

While in Hilton, one of the most important things "Aunt Suzie" has been teaching Zara is : "we don't eat books, we read books" It has been amazing to see, at this age its an automatic reaction for a child to put everything in the mouth. But soon enough it seemed that Zara was certainly getting the message and she stopped trying to grab the books to her mouth all the time. It is now up to us to keep reminding her...."we don't eat books, we read books" and with all her family being such avid readers we hope she will come to love reading and respect her books as we all do.
