A Weekend with Astella, Anica & Baby Joshua

Marius and Astrella have now sadly immigrated to Australia but a few weekends before they left Astrella and the kids spent a weekend with me. We stayed at Liz's house who was sadly away for the weekend and missed out on all the fun!!!

We had more than enough space and really had a very special time together!
Little Anica had great fun helping us make a pizza. Ofcourse, she had to taste and see if some of the ingredients were suitable for the pizza!

Anica also really enjoyed sitting on the physio ball!

Later in the afternoon, Astrella and myself baked a cake and found a collection of some very exciting cake decorations which auntie Liz had in the pantry. So Anica had such fun decorating the pink cake with all sorts of shapes and colours. "It just so happened" that the next day, the 6th of June was her 2nd birthday!

I bought Ancia her first set of paints and printed a few colouring in pictures of her favourite "Barney" character. She really seemed to enjoy herself, although she was quite confused between the brush, water, paper and the paint. She found great fun in mixing the paint in the water and often forgetting to paint the picture:)





Our weekend ended with a wicked spoil of strawberries, whipped cream and special coffee while the two little ones had a Sunday afternoon sleep! Sadly, we did not get any photo's of little Joshua has he is just such a quiet, good little baby! All he does is eat, chat a little a go back to sleep.

Now the Vogels are busy settling down in Australia,am missing them already!
