Charlotte's Baby Blessing

The Beard Family

Last Sunday we were able to share in Zane and Tina's special day with the blessing of their new little girl. It was such a beautiful day and it was great to be there with all their family and friends. Thanks for sharing the day with us!!

ANZAC DAY

We did it again! We braved the early hours of the morning and got up at 3am to go into the city and take the Youth to the dawn service for ANZAC day. It was a great experience and we loved being able to feel the spirit of the ANZAC's.

Baby Charlotte

For some reason these pictures are really small? We went and visited with Zane and Tina the other night and had our second cuddle with their beautiful little girl Charlotte! She is such a beautiful baby and we are so excited for Zane and Tina! As you can see we are also in our SA Rugby jersey as we were off to the Rugby. Gav won some tickets at work and was unable to go so he gave them to Nathan and I. Box seats and all..... Thanks Gav we had a fun night!

Our Fun Filled Week in Sydney!

We just got back from a fantastic week in Sydney. We stayed with Asa, Karen and the Boys. Thank you for such an amazing holiday.

While in Sydney we took over 400 photos...... So I have done well to reduce it to this many! I guess that since I have been slack at updating my blog this will make up for it.

We had such a great time visiting with family and friends. Thanks Asa, Karen and Seth for a wonderful week!!

Nathan acting all cool - really he was exhausted from the Hike!!

The Surprise trip to the Rugby!!

Karen and Asa bought us tickets to the Rugby. We all knew about it apart from Nathan. We told him that we were head to an Opera in the park. Just before arriving it started to rain a little so I thought we should change - I pulled out our South African rugby jersey and Nathan was a little confused and then full of excitement as he realised what was happening! Although the South African team lost we had a fun night - rain and all.

Thank You Asa and Karen for a Fantastic Night!!!

The Braai (BBQ)

Monday night the boys prepared a great Braai, followed by family home evening and toasting marshmellows! It was such a fun night.

Enjoying the Braai (aka BBQ) cooked by the boys. It was delicious........

We roasted marshmellows and made smores for the treat!!

Nathan, Bonnie and I spent one day in the city. We explored many sites and had a wonderful time together. What a beautiful city Sydney is.

It was a windy Ferry ride into the city

The Elephants....

The whole day Will and Ewen were elephants! I captured this shot with their hands behind their backs while they were watching a show - They are so cute!

There were so many beautiful animals at the zoo

This is why Nathan loved the zoo - he said it was his kind of Zoo as it had lifts and escalator throughout the park!

The Sky rail was fantastic! It had the most incredible views of the city and also the zoo.

Here is the African drinking water from the waterhole!!!

Nathan and Asa's Soccer Competition!

This was Nathan's highlight of our trip to Sydney. Playing Soccer with Asa on the Balcony. He loved the fact that Will and Ewen were cheering for him and keeps playing it over and over again!

Highlights over the past few months.....

It has been some time since we have updated our blog. So I am going to post a few things that have happened over the past few months before I post the current events of our lives!!

February was a BIG month for us! We celebrated our 1st Year of marriage, Nathan birthday and Valentines day. It was a fun Month!

Nathan had his birthday a few months ago now! We had a lovely day together. Happy Birthday for back in February!!!!

Our First Valentines Day together! Tried to keep up the tradition that I had growing up. My mum did a great job with the tables and decorations.

Nathan made me the cutest card! He woke me at Midnight to give it to me and wish me - just so that he could be first!

Our First CHRISTMAS!!!!

We had Gemma and Gavin stay the night on Christmas Eve and have Christmas breakfast together. We had a yummy Christmas breakfast and a lovely devotional together. Thanks for sharing Christmas with us! Then we headed into mum and dad's and to Asa and Karens and had a lovely christmas with all the family.

This was our first Christmas Tree decorations etc.... We had a fun Family Home Evening setting it up singing and dancing!!
