Although these two gorgeous kids have been married for a while now, we have been in New Zealand pretty much all of their married life. Except for a skype here and there and a fleeting visit to South Africa for Melinda's wedding, we haven't had much time with them at all.
With the birth of their first child in May of 2011, we were thrilled to have a grandson and namesake for Jo, but of course, living on the other side of the world has meant that we haven't even met the little guy yet!
All that is about to change with the visit which will be commencing this Monday! Boetie, Barbara and Henri arrive at almost midnight on 29th and will spend three weeks with us here in Wanganui. To say that we are looking forward to it, is an understatement of massive proportions!
Here is the most recent picture of Johann Henri Botha II in his Kiwi jersey, almost packed and ready to leave for a visit with Oupa and Nana. There have been loads of fun preparations from hunting out the Disney duvet cover for his bed to taking out a 'grandparent' subscription at the Wanganui toy library so that he has something 'new' to play with while he is here. Friends and acquaintances have chipped in with a tricycle, more toys and a car seat, so we are pretty organised on the two-year-old front!! The parents of the aforementioned boy will be no less of an excitement and marvel to have with us, but hey - we done met them before!! and they are all grow'd up!
Here is a picture of the rules that will be in effect while Henri is with us and we include them here for the other children and grandchildren to take note of so that they can plan to visit and have an idea of what to expect!
Dis al!
