I spent five days in Utah, saw Garreth's apartment for the first time (It's neat and beautiful), also Melissa's almost finished basement.

I saw Sleeping Beauty on the airplane!

Above the clouds.

Winter-wonderland.

Katie throwing snowballs at ouma

I have never seen Katie laugh so loud and so long.

Ouma throwing snow at Katie.

Deep concentration!

Who thought ice-cold could be such fun?

Now to throw this monster at ouma!

Snow angel.

Rolling a snowball to make a snowman!

Katie made this snowman all by herself! It's almost her size!

Fun, fun, fun!

Sledding down the hill!

Taking Katie and her friend Marie to school. Notice the school uniform. I was impressed with her Charter school!

I

Baby Sharon

Ouma cycles while I have fun in my bicycle cart!

She is a climber!

Definately a climber!

She does not suffer from vertigo!

A new park opened 2 weeks ago just behind our house. She calls it the 'mummy park'. Can you guess why? It's her favorite park in the whole world.

Did I say she is a climber?

Weeeee!

This is fun!

Definately, Definately, Definately a climber!

We even went for a frozen yogurt and also to Pump It Up in my bicycle cart.

I call her baby Sharon, but she tells me she is not a baby. I then call her little Sharon, and she said, "I'm big not little'. She is now big Sharon (which by the way was my name) so I guess I'll have to be content with old Sharon!

Big Sharon has been visiting us for the past two weeks. It has been wonderful to bond with her. I adore her. She is so cute the other day oupa was giving her hugs and she said, "No oupa, dont tie me up".

Highlights of last week

- Having all my children and grandchildren around.
- Watching Cindy skilfully handle the go-cart and overtake almost everyone. Eric only managed
to pass her at the end of the race!
- Little Sharon staying at ouma and oupa's home for two extra weeks. During "trick or treat" she would be given candy but then she would hold up the bucket for more! A sweet tooth for a sweet little girl.
- Dylan was blessed last Sunday by his daddy, Eric.
- Kamryn blurted out "Well done daddy!" after the blessing. Everyone at church chuckled!
- Kathleen (Katie) and I had a long chat one evening while I tucked the children in bed. She told me all about her kindergarten class (she likes playtime...... she does not like phonics). She is reading beautifully all by herself.
- Enjoying a manicure and pedicure with Melissa and Jessica. The time together was enjoyed more than the manicure and pedicure.
