Thanks to John and Jen for the lovely visit this week, for the beautiful flowers, wine and cake. You really did spoil us. It was lovely to see you both again and I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Cape Town and your birthday Jen.
And to Guy and Shereen and the boys for a chilled Christmas Eve get together. We really need to make the time to do this more often. Thanks for the great company, the cousins had such a fabulous afternoon together.
To all our family and friends
During this time of faith and family may the true meaning of Christmas provide you with joy. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and thank you for all your love and support.
Lots of love Jimmy, Vivienne and children.
We had a lovely Christmas Day spent at home with our children and Jimmy's parents today. Many beautiful gifts and a delicious Christmas Lunch. Even the pouring rain and cloudy sky couldn't dampen our spirits. We enjoyed a lazy afternoon with full tummies and visits from Rohan and Patsy & Matthew and Cameron. Thank you Ewen for the lovely telephone call from the UK. I think your weather was better than ours today.
Bradley and Shannon left this afternoon to spend the remainder of Christmas Day and the rest of the holidays with their Mom and her family and my girls leave in the morning. It's going to be very quiet in the Smith household from tomorrow afternoon. Thank you kids for a fabulous day and a glorious two weeks together. The time really just went by too fast. In our fond thoughts was Megan today, our first Christmas with her away but we had a lovely Skype yesterday and since she is at see today we hope to catch up tomorrow again when she is in Toulon, France.
Jimmy's cold is much better, after closely monitoring his temp for a couple of days it did not go higher than 36.4 and I think he is over the worst now. His back has been a bit sore and he was very quiet today but I think he is okay. I worry about him but I also don't want to be a pain and keep checking up on him and asking him if he is okay. He was quiet like this on his birthday too and although these are special, happy times to celebrate I suppose it is also a time to reflect and I am sure I would also be, if I were to walk a day in Jimmy's shoes.

Happy New Year Vivienne! Wishing you and Jimmy and your kids all the best for 2015! Your pictures are lovely and I just marvel at how similar our lives are, yet thousands of miles and continents away! We all wound up with colds/fevers here too, but getting better now. Hoping Jimmy is getting stronger, and I will look for your SCT updates. love and germ free hugs :) Julie
