Weekend Bliss....

It's Sunday evening and I've finally managed to sneak in 10 minutes in between my wife's facebook sessions.

This weekend was something really different.... and most enjoyable. The best of all worlds roled into one weekend. Friday after work we headed off to our local pizza joint to meet the family and start the chill.

Saturday was up early as Devon was playing a 9:30 am football game. That was good -Devon seems to be getting it. He was far more involved this week and set up the first goal!!!! BIG STEPS! His team won 2 - 0. Then it was off to Devon's School's 50th Birthday celebration Funday. He had loads of fun jumping on the jumping castles! Once we had spent an hour there we had to rush off to his friend, Cole's birthday party. Lindsay took control of this and I got to sit and relax at home with Kyle and Adam. This was opportunity to enjoy the first match of the LIONS tour to SA. Once they returned from the party we made our way to some of our friends to watch the final of the Super 14. The Bulls gave the Chiefs a rather BIG smack.

Sunday was all about relaxing and spending time at home. The in-laws are on their way to Cape Town for a week to sort out the holiday home. I wish it was me on my way down there. It is a hell of a drive, but well worth it when you get there! We had lunch at home, just the 5 of us, and then just played with the kids, helped with a little homework and just chilled! It is going to be an early night snuggled up in front of the TV with my wife.

A week gone already...

A week has gone since we returned from our overseas trip. HELL it was busy and the time has just flown. This weekend I got to see Devon play a soccer match, not his first as we were away for that unfortunately, but we got to see him play. I think he spent more time standing still or talking to his friend than running after the ball and attempting to kick it. However, I do recall him making contact with the ball and a couple of shins at some point. It was a special time for us though....

The rest of the weekend was spent with friends and family. I got time to start sifting through some of the trip photo's, but not enough to sort them out and blog about though. That will come in good time.

Tuesday is going to be a great day, I'm headed to watch an IPL cricket game, which should be a blast.

Enjoy the week!

Reality with a BANG!

I know it has been a while since the last post... the reason is the overseas trip! What a blast!!!!!
I had a really awesome time. More info and pics will follow. But this week is just flying by and I'm still trying to catch up after being away for two and a half weeks.

When I have managed to catch my breath a little, I'll post a little more, but for now just a very big THANK YOU to Mom and Dad for making the trip possible in the first place.... words will never be able to explain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To Hayley and Francios for looking after our little and not so little munchkins as well as the maid, dog and DRAMA while we were having a jol! THANK YOU GUYS for all you did for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not an easy job taking on a kid for two and a half weeks, nevermind three, a dog and a maid, and some!

This week has been back to reality with a BANG!
