Finally Internet Part III

Hi!

Just a quick post to let you all know that we are still alive, the baby is still on its way and we are finally online in South Africa again. Things have been very good for us the last 2 Months. It started with an upgrade to business class, meeting great people, having a very interesting and exciting new job and of course moving into a house which we already can call our home. The only bad thing about South Africa is, that you are all so far away; we miss you...

Anita is in her 37th week from tomorrow on, so our lives can change every day now, but we're really looking forward to it.

Take care and I promise again to post more frequently...

Blogger vs. Facebook

Dear Friends and Family,

The last months we haven't been active on our Blog, the main reason being that we switched to Facebook.

We're still enjoying life in South-Africa a lot. Sef is getting a real big boy now (over 9 kg) and he is starting to explore the world. Soon we have to cover our pool before he takes an unvoluntary dive...

Sorry for not posting to much lately...

Swimming

It is winter now in South Africa, which isn't comparable with the European or US winter, but still it is to cold to use our pool. I wouldn't really mind, but Sef seems to already enjoy swimming so much, that it would be great for him to be able to do his laps every evening. Now he has to live with a small tub his fathers puts him in every evening. For him this really is one of the days highlights, but maybe also since he's sure that after his excerise he gets a good feed and can sleep for at least 5 hours. Life is great!

Take care!

Anita, Joost & Sef

He sent you from Heaven
He gave you a present
that you´ll find in your heart
it´s right there, in your heart.
Everybody gets one
they come in different colours.
Some shine bright, some shine bright,
every soul is alight.
God has many children,
more than a gazillion,
that He loves in his heart,
little lights in his heart.
These little lights,
He´s gonna let them shine.
Shine like the Son,
my baby Child.


Karen Zoid: Lights



Words cannot express
how thankful and happy we are
with this new light in our lives!

Dear friends!

today was my last day in the office. It is strange to leave everything and everyone behind. I really had a great time the last 2 years with my team and I'll surely miss them. There is still so much to do but you know that from tomorrow you won't be a part of it anymore.

On the other hand we're really looking forward to go to Port Elisabeth. We've found a beautiful house and on the 17th of April all our belongings should arrive there. I'll start working on the 5th of Mai and of course I'm also looking forward to those new challenges.

Anita is doing very well. Since 2 weeks we can feel the baby kicking, which really is an awesome experience. People knowing me know that I never made too much thoughts about having kids, but to be honest, since I felt he first kicks, I'm really excited! It is just so amazing.

We'll keep you updated, althought it'll probably take some time before we're online again.

Take care!

Amazing things happening

Hi There!

Amazing things are happening! Anita is really pregnant now, and to be honest, she wears her belly beautifully. It's just a great proces happening. For me as a gonna-be dad it is a lot of fun the explore the technical things of parenthood: which baby-jogger is the best? Which tires fit the "bolderkar/child's wagon" best? And I can continue for quite some time.

Looking forward to the end of june!

Take care! Joost

Seven Pounds

Hi there!

everything is going very well here. Seven pounds doesn't refer to Anitas weight gain, but to the great Will Smith movie we've just seen. Really an awesome movie and great acting from the main characters. A real recommandation! The strange thing is: it is called Seven Lives in German ??

Attached a picture of one of the greatest moments of the last 4 months...

Take care!
