What a long time....






it seems since I was on here - thanks for jogging my memory Jess. Well we've started the homeschool journey with Hannah and she is doing really well. Max is at Valmary and is loving it. Its been difficult to establish what level Hannah is at as I don't know what she had done previously - particularly with Maths so we're just rushing ahead until I get to the point where she is getting new stuff to do instead of just repeating what she did at Valmary. We have packed our afternoons with activities but we may have to rethink it as she has little time to socialise - potentially a problem as she can be quite shy. Anyway its a wait and see type situation - we must just be aware that it could become a problem.






The school work is going well though. We have just had my dear friend over from the uk for 2 weeks so we didn't do school as such but had lots of 'educational fieldtrips' - robben island, kirstenbosch, aquarium etc. Max has settled in to school much better than expected. He seems to have come into his own.






Business - well we're in the car industry so nuff said!






Me - well still chasing that elusive ideal weight and optimum fitness. I am currently boot camping it 3 times a week, gym twice a week and running at least twice a week in preparation for the next 2 oceans.






Here are a few recent photos
