For so long now, things have felt heavy and burdensome so it is with great joy and relief I share with you that slowly, slowly things are settling down.

After the blessing of the donation of the security wall, the new farm continues to be a beacon of hope and a future for us all at TLC. Rhys has completed planting the lucerne grass seeds that will be used for the winter to feed "our" herd of cattle. The rains have come and the fine green tint hesitates just above the rich dirt - funny how it can only be seen from afar and is not nearly as impressive right up close.
In honour of the legacy of the family that has lived there and been great custodians of the property I believe God always intended for us, we have called the farm "Albert's Rest". It is dedicated to the memory of the families second son, Albert, who passed away tragically and is remembered in various places on the farm. He will be our guardian angel I am sure.

| A donation of pots, pans and miscellaneous kitchen items! Thank you Bidvest Foods! |
As everyday ends I am a full day more grateful for the knowledge that we will have a real home soon :-) The kids are starting to really rub each other up the wrong way with each passing day and it will be so good to have S-P-A-C-E :-) We even have a company offering to decorate one of the rooms for us, so that is certain progress :-)

| Ok, so maybe they don't mind the lack of space so much! |
The new website is getting a LOT of visitors! Thank you to everyone who has forwarded the address to friends and family! Our Newsletter is almost ready to send out so make sure you have signed up for it on our homepage! And the Adopt a Cot program now has new members too who have pledged their R100 per month to help us keep those heads in beds :-)

| It's her birthday on Friday! She will be 3! |
On Thursday I am taking Similo and Nadia's family home to their family in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Thank you to the special friend who donated some money to help us buy them a few survival items :-) We are so grateful and I promise I will tell you all about THIS adventure for sure!

| A little craziness is good for everyone! |
Exams are looming for most of our kids and so everyone is a little highly strung but that is a good thing ~ I think, it means they are taking it seriously. We appreciate all your kind thoughts and prayers.
We Love you all
Pippa
