And just like that, Elizabeth’s first day at nursery!
I have been so lucky to have been able to attend both of my sister’s weddings in 2021. Some pictures from @essa_geldenhuys and @johantoerien amazing wedding on the farm in the Free State.

After a last minute trip to the Ukraine, five Covid tests and 6 days of home quarantine, we are finally free for life to move on in London. Crazy how big the world has become.
REPOST for the memory wall because Anita from @barefootheart_  sent the most special photos today.

Married 5 years today and blessed with the most amazing baby girl - 8 months old yesterday. Life is beautiful, indeed!

Ons vier Elizabeth se inseëning met ons Vrystaatse familie op Wolwefontein. Daar waar ons 5 jaar gelede ons bruilof gevier het.  So spesiaal saam met ons hartsmense.

Sunny summer Sundays on the farm.
Want @essa_geldenhuys trou oor ‘n maand en ons wag al vir meer as ‘n jaar daarvoor! 

Memories van haar mooiste bruidsviering in die granaatboord - want sy verdien dit sooo.

Our new normal - 7am beach sessions. You can see we were the only people there....!
6 maande saam met jou, my liefste, liefste Elizabeth.  Ons tyd saam is vir my so ongelooflik spesiaal en ‘n absolute voorreg. Soos ek jou dophou op ‘n daaglikse basis groei, verander en leer ek saam.  Dankie vir die mens wat jy my maak!
Ons vier vir Janri voordat sy trou! Mooiste dag op Randfontein.

Best bar in the world - according to me.
Its hard to believe that a month ago we were stuck in limbo in the Ukraine and now we are right back in the thick of things! Always appreciate the state you are in…
I have one day left of maternity leave. Phew. It was such an incredible journey and I have been blessed in so many ways. As I close this chapter, this is what I have on my mind: 

“This is your life. Do what makes you happy. Change the things y
