After 9 months of pregnancy and news that baby would most probably come late, we were certainly not expecting what hit us over the Easter weekend. On Saturday we made our usual pilgrimage to the squash club where I played in a social doubles tournament while Sharon watched from the stands. Once I was done …
I guess some people may have called this particular trip a disaster with several things going wrong almost daily. But in truth it was really just an adventure, which is exactly what every camping trip should be. Hotels confuse me with their air con and TVs. I don’t travel to sit in rooms and watch TV. I …
This year Christmas belonged to the Steele family, so after work on Monday Sharon picked me up and we headed for her parent’s home in Richards Bay. Our first evening was spent at a restaurant called Porky’s overlooking the small craft harbour. The scenery was fantastic and the yachts, as always, looked magical lit up by the …

A big thank you to my mom who did our wedding plate for us, it must’ve been a colossal task and turned out fantastically. A big thank you also to everyone who attended and signed it.

After a few weekends at home Sharon and I were only too happy to accept an invite from Nick and Tarryn to head down to Port Edward for the weekend. The plan was to get in a little fishing and to generally relax and have a good time. But then I guess this is the …
It was time for our third scan (16 weeks), and another exciting scan at that. We were hoping to find out the sex of our baby but it all of course relied on how baby Prior was lying. As the machine blinked to life we eagerly watched the monitor as Dr Czarnocki wiggled his wand …
