Hi ladies.

Elam's party was a HUGE success. Thanks for all advice & well-wishes.

LOL about old ppl and weight! The day after my wedding, had a traditional gathering where u're given advice by the elders etc & I was wearing umbaco(traditional Xhosa outfit). My mom forced me to wear a towel around my waist under the skirt to provide padding (bigger hips & bum) because I was too thin!!! :laugh:

Patty that is nice.

Mina my nanny cannot speak English and most nannies/people in our complex are Foreigners. I doubt it would be fun for her and Lesego.

She once called lesego's rattles "amakiting kiting"

Ohhh I forgot to say... I think I lost half of the 53 KG I weigh! My granny is so worried about my weight! She even says umfazi oshadile akumele azace kanjena, abantu bazothi indoda iyanghlupha (A married woman shouldn't be so thin coz people will say hubby is mistreating me) LOL Granny is classic but I have never been big...what is she expecting :S My highest weight gain was I think 58/9 while I was preggy! Ogogo sometimes!

Gals Gals Gals :)

I am still in one piece! My finishing time was 10H45M36S :( :( . Nothing close to the 5H I was aiming for :woohoo: and taking the Russian Twins off the record (someone hs to do it and it will have to be me LOL)

Gals... I have found answers to the questions I have been asking myself since Lwandle was born. He took with him 50% of my streangth/energy whatever you can call it! No wonder he is so bountifully active ITS MY ENERGY :laugh:
It was worth it...next year I am in AGAIN and this time to get at least gold medal!

I am trying to load our 'family pic' togeter with my irritating kwaito star cousin who out-ran me NXA before and after the marathon but it says its too big! I will load it later though

We are chillexing at granny here in PMB will fly out later today!

Keep well Gals...ngisayokudla amasi enkomo LOL

PS: I very much appreciate your well wishes and concerns :) you are such good pals :)

where's everyone?

Nels we stay in a complex, so normally the nannies from diff houses will meet by the garden so the kids can play together. they enjoy it so much, the older ones actually demand for that play time. it will be boring to just sit in the house :(
