Parenting Baby Book

 I was cleaning out this week and came across the book that helped us get through parenthood. It’s Marina Petropulos baby and child care. A lot of moms at the time had the book and it was a very practical guide that answered the many questions we had as new parents. Remember, we didn’t have the internet, imagine that, and no cell phones either 😀. I don’t know why I kept the book all these years because, now every question is just a Google search away. I wonder what it will be like when Cali has kids, will they say, those poor parents they had to search the internet for answers? Here is a pic of the book before I get rid of it.

Family photos 2022 meeting Cali

Todays blog post is about some recent photos of the family when Tarryn, Luke and Cali were out from Australia. Tarryn wanted family photos and the rest of us teased her about the pics but once we had seen them, everyone loved them.well, everyone that I spoke to thinks that everyone else in the pictures look amazing but they look terrible. We are so self-critical, we should all just go easier on ourselves. I’m very grateful that we have this lovely family photo and I love the smiles and carefree look about it. We had a great time away for the two nights at Kievitskroon near Pretoria. Happy families and so incredibly blessed to have Cali meet the rest.
