Saturday, 26 April 2014. Quick trip to Mozambique. Our family took a quick trip to Mozambique during the Easter Weekend to assist another missionary family (Grant and Riana)to get to their car in Maputo. They sold their car in South Africa and bought another in Mozambique but had to get there. We decided to make a family trip out of it and jammed all six kids in the back and the four adults in front of the condor and off we went. 5 of the kids asleep in the back of the car. Riana, Jac, Danie and Grant.

Our Life: Expectations
http://onslewe.blogspot.com/2015/04/expectations.html
Monday, 20 April 2015. I was confronted with expectations the last couple of weeks. What I expected and what I received. I am just writing this for myself not sure if I will even post this blog. During this time I was again confronted with expectations, and what I expect of my family and friends, but never really tell them, of my husband and children and then of God. I realize that what I expect is too much or just wrong. I also expect too much of myself, to be perfect in every way. I need to learn to li...

Our Life: Cherry time in Skopje
http://onslewe.blogspot.com/2015/06/cherry-time-in-skopje.html
Saturday, 20 June 2015. Cherry time in Skopje. It is cherry time in Macedonia. This was our first experience of picking cherries and helping to make cherry juice. First you pick the cherries. Then you wash them. And wash them some more, sorting to discard the bad ones. Then you make a fire in the outside stove and boil them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. What, where and who. I have no idea yet, will let you know. Cherry time in Skopje. Our home school escapades.

Tuesday, 14 April 2015. Visiting the historical sites in Ankara. Part of our homeschooling this month is learning about Turkey and also the history of Turkey. Here are some photos of where we travelled today. We started off at the Roman Baths. On top of Aslan. Gravestones of the Roman period. Grinding stones and graves dating back to the Byzantium time. Next stop was the Temple of Augustus. Finally on top – The Ankara Castle in the background. This is what we had for lunch in the Bazaar in Ulus.

Sunday, 28 July 2013. Zane’s 9th Birthday party. Zane really loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So we decided to have a TMNT party. He invited a few friends, Mom made the cake and snacks and masks and Ninja necklaces. Dad made all the weapons and took them on a real leopard hunt. I am truly glad they did not find the leopards in the cave! Here are some of the pictures. You can’t have a TMNT Party without Pizza! The weapons, cookies, jelly. slime, mask and necklace. More weapons that Danie made.
