Zak's first bath at home

in Bath, Home, Raoul, Zachary, Zak

Yesterday evening Raoul gave Zak his first bath at home, clearly an event to be well documented! I was rather glad that he was the one giving the bath and not me- it doesn't look like an easy task. First Raoul got all of the necessary supplies together: Read more »

Well, it's been a couple weeks since we got back from our trip to Johannesburg, but after much urging, cajoling, etc (as usual- I'm no blogger) from Raoul I'm only blogging about it now. Read more »

Long Overdue Update: We're Pregnant!

in Baby, Hannah, News, Pregnant, Raoul

Well, it's long overdue, but for those who don't know, Hannah is pregnant. At this stage she's about 7 weeks along, and the baby is due on the 10th of August. It's too early to tell whether or not it's a boy or a girl, but we're going to wait until junior is born to find out. Call me old-fashioned, I don't care!

To be honest, it's a little unexpected, but Hannah and I are thoroughly excited. Hannah has been going on about babies since before we got married, so now she's as happy as a pig in the mud.

Not much more news though... Read more »

New Computer

in Computer, Excitement, Raoul

On Wednesday last week my computer died. I had been expecting it for a couple of weeks, as my computer had been struggling to start up. Then on Wednesday it just point blank refused. Read more »

Photo Printing

in Photo, Printer, Raoul, Wedding, Work

Well, Raoul and I had quite a bit of fun earlier today. Raoul is currently reviewing the Epson Stylus CX8300 printer so he can write a review for IOL Technologies. Last night Raoul brought the printer home from work, and this morning he opened it up to get everything going. Inside the box we discovered some more goodies with the printer- 50 pieces of small, normal size pieces of photo paper, and several pieces of A4 size photo paper, as well as an extra set of ink cartridges. Now we REALLY got ready to have some fun. Read more »

Six Months

in Anniversary, Hannah, Marriage, Raoul

Well, Raoul and I have now been married for over 6 months, as of the 29th of March! We didn't do anything particularly special on the day because finances are tight for the month, but we're going to have a nice dinner at a very nice italian restaurant at the end of this month to celebrate.

Family Matters

in Cat, Family, Fight, Hannah, Keena, Kitten, Merlo, Play, Raoul

Well, the cats are finally getting along with each other. Merlo, of course, was never the problem, being the new addition and a kitten at that. Keena, on the other hand, needed to adapt to having another cat in the house. Read more »

The Honeymoon

in Calitzdorp, Caves, Elephants, Garden of Eden, Garden Route, Hannah, Honeymoon, Rainforest, Raoul, Sedgefield

Raoul and I made a deal- he'd post about the wedding, and I'd post about the honeymoon. I still think he took the easy way out by referring to the pictures, but I suppose I can't complain because I'd gladly take the same opportunity. However, since it will be a while until we have the honeymoon pictures up on the site, I'll have to take the long way around. Read more »

The Happiest Day Of My Life

in God, Hannah, Ink, Laptop, Marriage, Printer, Raoul, Wedding

Now, I have to start off by saying that I don't know why it's called the happiest day of your life, because my wedding day wasn't. I was too busy making sure everything was going to be ready, and then too busy concentrating on not making any mistakes when I said my vows, etc. Having said that, however, I did enjoy the day, and was really glad to finally be married to my wonderful wife.
