My time spent in East London with my sister Gaelyn and my soon to be Brother-in-law and step-neice-in-law :) was magical. Although the visit was short, it was so so special to me and I was thrilled to squeeze in a family shoot.  Chris grabbed the camera toward the end and snapped a few of Gaelyn and I together, which I am so grateful for. Thanx Bro.

A few words from Gaelyn: "When my fiance and I got engaged in December, his 6 year old daughter was thrilled, but her first question about her new Step Mom was whether I had a poison apple or not! I wish I could have captured the look of relief on her face when she realised that her fathers new "Beyonce" (not fiance) was poison apple free."

They've arrived and they are beautiful!!

Hanlie wants to wait until the twins are a little chubbier and looking more like cherubs for her official photo shoot, but I couldn't help but sneak in a few during my visit yesterday.  I can't imagine how they could get ANY cuter!!!

I have NEVER seen a couple of boys have such fun with a lab.  Jane's Labrador, Sophie, has to win the award for patience.  Leo pulled her tail, Max jumped on her back - basically rugby tackling her on the trampoline - yet this dog was so gentle with them.  What a wonderful family dog.  Jane, it was so great to see you - you've had a huge impact on my life and I love you very much.

Jane has this way of entertaining her boys with treasure hunts...it is the CUTEST thing to watch. The hat and patch go on, Jane takes the chest outside with a sweetie inside, and then the boys begin their pirate search! What fun!

Hanlie was THE very first South African that I met in Singapore after having been here for a couple of weeks.  She answered so many of my questions and gave me wonderful advice.  She EVEN gave me a bowl of ultramel. Aaah, if I wasn't homesick yet, I certainly was when the custard ran out! 

Now over a year later, her and Michael are expecting twins. One girl and one boy :) 

Hanlie and Michael, I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the pregnancy, and I cant wait to meet your little babas when they arrive. Enjoy the photos.
