Mark and Claudia Family: December 2010
http://mvg-blog.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Mark and Claudia Family. Blog for the family events of Mark, Claudia, Riley and Ethan van Gelder. Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Yesterday was the first really nice day we have had in ages. We opened up the pool and by the end of the day Riley was swimming up a storm. She had to take a break to enjoy the sun too though. We spent the afternoon in Balito, looking forward to the arrival of the Londoners. Riley spent a lot of time in the pool there too, and is most definately swimming much better as a result.

It has been a LONG time since my lat post - time just seems to get away from me. The video just shows how they have changed over the last few months - and also how much they LOVE chocolate!

It was really nice to be at home with no work pressure etc. We took the kids and grandmothers down to the beach which was as usuall fun - very windy but great anyway.

Mark and Claudia Family: Grannie's Birthday
http://mvg-blog.blogspot.com/2011/03/grannies-birthday.html
Mark and Claudia Family. Blog for the family events of Mark, Claudia, Riley and Ethan van Gelder. Tuesday, March 08, 2011. Today is Grannie's birthday, so we invited Mom and Michael for dinner. The kids were very excited - they kept wishing Grannie "happy birthday". Riley decided that a candle was required, so since we did not have any desert/cake (it is a school night), Riley suggested that a candle in the chicken would be a good idea. Clearly the chicken was not a good idea so we used a roast potatoe.

Mark and Claudia Family: October 2010
http://mvg-blog.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Mark and Claudia Family. Blog for the family events of Mark, Claudia, Riley and Ethan van Gelder. Thursday, October 28, 2010. A few days ago we gave Ethan cheese sauce again for the first time in quite a while. Riley have never been partial to cheese sauce (surprise, surprise), so we have never really tried it with Ethan. I suppose predictably, he loved it. He won't eat anything else on his plate till the sauce is finished - and smeared all over his face. This evening he went one step further. Friday was...

http://mvg-blog.blogspot.com/2011/03/dinner-ready.html
Mark and Claudia Family. Blog for the family events of Mark, Claudia, Riley and Ethan van Gelder. Sunday, March 06, 2011. On Friday night we decided to have dinner outside, The kids felt like KFC and being a nice evening we thought that outside would be fun. Ethan as usual was very keen - he sat quietly waiting for the food to be delivered. While Riley and Nona checked on the fish. The excitement when the food arrives says it all. Posted by Mark van Gelder. And dining al fresco is good, too.

Mark and Claudia Family. Blog for the family events of Mark, Claudia, Riley and Ethan van Gelder. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Last Friday was Heritage Day. Khosi arrived for work on Thursday, which was the day we left for Johannesburg in her traditional outfit - which made Riley really happy. The following photograph was taken just before we left. As you can see, both kids are very happy with Khosi, which we are really happy about. Posted by Mark van Gelder. Monday, September 27, 2010. A day in the life.
