Hannah - Climbing the Burglar Bars


Hi All,

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend, ours was incredibly busy, but whats new!


Firstly to Vanessa & her family, we are so so sorry for the loss of your Ouma. We know she was treasured by you all. We pray that with time the pain heals and know that your Ouma no longer has pain.. (To all that don't know, Vanessa's Ouma passed away yesterday after a long battle with Cancer..) Ons is lief vir jou, Vanes!


Hannah has learn't an amazing new skill, that is to climb on everyting and I mean absolutely everything. On Friday I left her for a moment to quickly change Ethan's nappy, might I add, when I walked out of the lounge she was happily watching a DVD.. But when I returned, she was climbing up on the burglar bars, I nearly had a hear attack. I had these visions of her falling and knocking her teeth out or cutting herself so bad that she would need stitches.. I got a few pictures of her climbing back down, man and I thought only little boys do things like this!

On Saturday, we went to Centurion Mall to support Brave Deqlan Higgins and to honour and remember all the brave little ones that have lost their battle to cancer at the CANSA SHAVATHON.. We sprayed our hair all sorts of colours! Vanessa & Pieter were their and stood in Honour and support of her Ouma and Me, Stephan, Hannah & Ethan who stood in support of Deqlan (Brave warrior who kicked cancers butt) and in Honour of Declan Du Toit (Who is now a precious Angel) and in Honour of many who have lost their battle against cancer and to the many that have survived Cancer.... You are all an inspiration to our family and have taught me so many life lessons that I would never have learned should our paths never crossed... Thank you to Samm & her amazing family for allowing us to share in Deqlan's journey, it has been amazing watching him move from strength to strength and thank you to Gillian & Daryl for allowing us to share in Declan's journey, although the battle was lost, Declan managed to bring an amazing bunch of people together... To Vanessa, we know you are sad right now but time heals my friend and we will forever more stand and honour your Ouma in all we do for CANSA in the future..

We hope you all have an amazing week.... May those going through a tough time, know that you are in our prayers - for those that are greving, we are sending you lots of love & comfort and pray that God enfolds you in his love and for tose of you just celebrating life, know that we celebrate with you!

Be happy for one more day, one more sunshine, one more blue sky, one more moment on this earth and for one more day to tell all around you how much you care..

Love you all!

Love US
