Our house is so quiet....

Our house is extremely quiet at the moment and has been since last night. It will remain quiet for the next two or so days. The reason for this unusual silence is that Devon is away. Yes, my four year old is away from home.

Devon has gone on holiday early with Granny and Grampa - this can only mean one thing - Trouble. I guess he is being spoilt and allowed to get away with murder at the moment. The wife and I are not used to having him away and the silence. This is the first time that he has been away from us. They have gone to the Kruger National Park till Friday and then we will be meeting them in the Berg on Friday afternoon.

We can't wait to break this silence...... we miss you munchkin.

Drakensberg here we come!

My blog will become rather quiet over the next 10 days or so as we are headed to the Drakensberg Mountains for a holiday. I can't wait!!!! Work has been rather stressful over the last couple of weeks, and this holiday is exactly what I need to recharge the batteries for the remainder of the year, or until the next holiday comes around. So instead of blogging I'm going to be taking in the awesome scenery, strolling in the mountains, listening to the flow of water over waterfalls and plain old relaxing!

I'll be back with some stories to tell and some photographs to share in about 10 or so days.

Black and white photo's

I just love black and white photo's. They seem to bring something different that I can't explain as I am nowhere near to close enough to call myself a photographer. I came across another blog that had a post with two black and white photographs on it. It reminded me of how much I love taking photo's in black and white. I took these photographs of Adam this evening. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

A family update...

Things have been rather hectic in the household of Miller of late. Work has taken up much of my time this last week, thus being the reason the blogging came to a bit of a stand still. But the weekend is here in full swing and that is always a good time to catch ones breath and enjoy family life.

Today I tried to spend some time watching Kyle play cricket, as this was his last game of the season. He played wicketkeeper for the "A" side and took 2 stumpings. Batting he made 11 runs with two glorious 4's in his innings.

I took Devon with me to watch Kyle, and he is always a busy body, running round or talking the hind leg off a donkey.

Adam is just Adam. He cut a tooth on Thursday morning and has been a little happier since then and sleeping a bit better at night.

Then there is my wife. Tomorrow we are celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary. Over the past 6 years of marraige we have been blessed to share some awesome moments together. I could not have wished to have spent these times with anyone more special. We have had the priviledge of being blessed with wonderful kids that bring us so much joy and happiness. Yes we have had those difficult times, those quarrels and those wars, but at the end of the day we are the best of friends, companions and still very much in love. To my soul mate - Happy Anniversary for tomorrow and I look forward to the rest of our lives together.

I made it...

The weekend IS here!!!! I made it to the weekend. A day or so ago it seemed so far off, but it is finally here, and i am going to enjoy every minute of it. I think the wolf from the three little pigs has been around, because the rain which was looking so promising has huffed and puffed away! (Darn, I'll have to wait a little longer to smell the sent of the first rains, and the cleansing that it brings.)

I wish time would just slow down for the weekend, so that we could enjoy it a little longer.
