new year new schools

first day at creche......so cute!

over the last week our older children have started their new school year, for two of the girls they moved up to the next class, our 6 year old boy he made the big step to start at primary school and our 3 year old she started creche for the first time.......starting something new is always an event that is filled with excitement and trepidation and starting school is no different. for our kids there is no mom or dad waving from the gate, but we are able to support them at this special time and it is wonderful to see these little ones leave in the combi in the morning, uniforms and ruck sacks shiny new, but the best is to hear the hubbub as they return to tell their stories of friendship and learning.

new mini/mircrobus

well at last we have the bus we are looking for, it's not a brand new toyota quantam that we were hoping for but a 10 year old vw microbus! we have been on the look out for one for quite sometime and we made the decision to trade in the old condor and put some extra money which was given to us by the YWAM team for their vehilce needs during the world cup.

so we must add a special thanks to YWAM and this now means that we can fit ALL the children in one vehicle which is fantastic, this morning i did the school run with fran, which was great....we trust that this van will serve us well as we trust God for the provision of the real deal when we can really afford it!
