Well the holiday is well and truly over now. We have been home for just over one week now and we have been without electricity for every single day since. Mostly the power goes out once or twice a day for two hours at a time but on Wednesday it was out for a total of 7hrs and 50minutes and they say that this is not a 3rd world coutnry. The reason is something they call "loadshedding" it is what happens when there is not enough electricity to meet demand and so the power company, Eskom, has to cut a certain amount of power to certain areas. They try to rotate around all the suburbs but it is hard not to feel like the only one affected when it is your time. They even cut power to their own office building last week. So this is the reason why I have not been able to update the blog until now, it's kinda hard to do with no power....... So our holiday was fun and it was really great to see everyone again and it was much harder to leave this time but at least we know that we will be back in just a few short months for Brookie's wedding which makes things easier. Riley was a bit torn when we got home as he really misses everyone from home (especially his cousin Alex) but he also missed a lot of his friends from here too. I think it will be really great for the kids when we return to have so much extended family around. I am looking forward to them growing up with their cousins too, as much as Riley and Alex fight we know that they love each other just as much and I think that when they are not both living in the same house in each other's personal space they will get along famously. Chloe was fascinated with Emily and I think the fascination was mutual, I am looking forward to seeing how they relate in April when we are back becasue Emily will be much older and more aware of the people around her.

Riley and Ellie were so cute together that day. I am so so grateful that i was able to make it. It was really nice to spend time with Riley and Emily (who i proudly held all day) and of course you, my wonderful big sis. The only thing that sucked was that Asian chick who waxed my eyebrows off. Bearch!
