Wrapstar Carrier!
The Wrapstar is AWESOME. My first Mei Tai, and I got two successful back carries today! (Plus 3 front carries!)
On a side note, I HATE customs. We had to pay the equivalent of $50 just to pick it up from the post office...I could have bought another carrier for that amount- yikes!Read more »

I have news! Me! Me! Me! Pick me!
I have two new websites! Yep, that's right, ME, not hubby!
I made a New Years resolution to take [at least] two pictures per day- one of Zak, and one of "something else", as Raoul put it. So now I'm the proud owner of two photoblogs (thanks honey)!Read more »

A Last.fm Milestone
As most folks know, I listen to a lot of music. There is always music playing in our house when I'm around, and at work I have my earphones plugged in and in between meetings I listen to music to drown out the noise around me.
Last.fm is a site that people can use to track how much they listen to their music, and I've been tracking my music since March 2006. My music player, Amarok, automatically submits each of the songs it plays to Last.fm under my user.Read more »

Summing up 2009
Note: This is the newsletter we sent out to everyone, so apologies if you're reading this for the second time.
Dear friends and family,
Looking back, we realise this has probably been the most eventful year of our marriage thus far. Raoul moved to a new job, we had a brief holiday in Johannesburg, and Zak was born, to mention a few of the events that happened.Read more »

Happy Christmas: I'm starting a newsletter
First off, we'd like to wish all our friends and family a blessed Christmas. Having just been through the birth of our first child, Hannah and I took a few minutes to read the story of Christ's birth, and think about what it was really like, and what we thought of it now that we have our own child.
In addition to that, we looked back on the year behind us and thought about the big events this year. We've come a long way in such a short year!Read more »

Shameless Bragging
Well, it's that time again folks- the time I get a bee (named Raoul) in my bonnet and blog!
Our son is AMAZING! I mean, I'm sure everyone already knows that from the pictures and videos we've posted, but really, he is. Zak JUST turned 4 months old, and from what I've heard and read, he's already starting to hit 6 month milestones. w00t- go Zak!Read more »

Zak's latest achievements
Zak has been making good progress with his milestones. He's started responding to us, "talking" and LOVES being thrown around.

Zak's new skills...
Here I sit, with my son gnawing and slobbering on my wrist as I bounce him on my knee, pondering all the new things he's learned in the past couple weeks. It's really amazing how much Zak is doing these days. He's gone from just watching (and being watched) captivated at what's going on, to doing things that influence his surroundings (in ways not related to gobbing).Read more »
