Part of my birthday present from Yme was a weekend away at a wine farm in Franschoek. It was called Chestnut Cottage
I have been meaning to post these for ages. We took Titus with us but left the older 2 with Annatjie. Shame poor Caleb it was the first time that we have left the kids overnight since Natasha died and the difference was noticable. Before we often did not get as much as a backward glance or a quick hug before they run off to play. This time he was very tearful and worried that I would not return. Fortunately Annatjie, Jacques and Wouter are good at taking his mind off things and he actually managed fine without us.
We arrived after dark on Friday night. Smallest Pinklet kindly went to sleep like Lord Muck and Yme and I were able to have a meal and a glass on wine together uninterrupted
Quick snack before we went into town the next morning

Titus chatting to mommy while she knits
Oh I fell in love with the fireplace – I want a fire place
What a gorgeous looking place!! LOVE the last photo
Titus is so cute now. I love it when they start talking in their language. My sister’s baby is now 6 months old and is also talking to us, which I so adore
Glad you and YME have enjoyed the time away. Every couple needs it.
Look at Titus’ smile!
That last photo is priceless!
How adorable is that last pic???
Looks like you guys had an amazing time.
Ahhhh look at those cheeks!!
I love, love, love the last photo.
