Well first of all a BIG Thank you to everyone who read and read and read on our behalf :-)
Nobody who replied could find the "express prohibition" of post placement contact in the Hague Guidelines and all say the overwhelming feeling in the document is one of support for open contact and respect for the child's origins. It will therefore remain TLC's policy to embrace our families and continue to be the link to their past in a way that only we can ~ we hope you all continue to feel the overwhelming love and support from your TLC family and we want you to remember you are always welcome and invited to contact and visit us!
YOU KNOW OUR HEARTS BEAT FOR YOU!
It's been a strange "non-week" here. Lots of little things going on like visits from good friends, volunteers coming and going, meetings and letter writing etc.
The bits that stand out are: Using our own cream to make our first batch of TLC Butter, grating soap bars to make our very own laundry detergent (which we hope will save us a lot of money by not having to buy) and of course the "SNOW DAY" yesterday :-)
SNOW is a big deal in Johannesburg and even the lightest dusting brings things to a standstill :-)
Yesterday we got enough to make a few snowballs and feel the icy burn of holding snow in bare hands. Here are a few pictures - I'm afraid the kids were at school while it snowed so I couldn't get any pics of them in it as it melted so fast.
The willow tree behind the swimming pool,
Sasko loving the cold weather and camoflauge!
Dominique runs into the fray!
Well, I have to go now. The call of duty you know!
We Love You All
Pippa
