Some of my highlights of being a dad have to be sharing a love of quality rock music with my boys, teaching them to ride their bikes and with Eli, teaching him to ride a unicycle.
Today my joy went a bit further with my boyjie as we went unicycling together on the road and then turned off to ride around the disused farm dam near our house.

Tonight at our home group meeting we'll be showing the short film we made of the various responses folk gave to camera about our Roadshow presentations.
All we can say to those of you that spoke to camera is "Thank You!".
What a Year!

I can remember many years ago wishing for a really quiet year and to be honest I'm still kind of waiting on that wish.
2011 was a true "annus horribilis" that started badly with just about everything that could go wrong going wrong.
Despite that, 2012 goes down as one of the best years ever for me!

In The Spirit Of Benny Hill

Late this afternoon we were playing about in the garage and used Paula's camera to record some unicycling. We put it on 'Miniature Effect' mode and this was the result. all that was needed was some classic music!
So here you have it, in the spirit of Benny Hill, less the sauce!

Despite our absence from the blog we're well and really enjoying life but we're also really busy which probably explains the absence.
So here's a bit of fun to keep you going until we manage to post something over the weekend.
Enjoy Eli's latest exploits below...

If you managed to catch up with Paula at one of her recent Facing The Mountain Roadshows in Weald or Cheadle you will have seen our latest DVD offering.
If you didn't manage to catch up with Paula, shame on you you can watch the film right here from the comfort of your own computer screen.
We hope you find it helpful as you uphold our ministry here in Macassar in prayer.
So get some popcorn, put your feet up and enjoy the next 16½ minutes.

We're very proud of Joel as he played with his fellow guitarists at the school's Music Cafe this morning.
They played Wonderwall by Oasis and did really well.

Here's the second video we showed during our mission ed visits. This is our informal photo presentation which is simply set to music with a few captions.
It's a lighter look at our lives at work and play, but mostly at play!
Part 1 is here.

A Day To Remember
by

7.12.10
We've had such a good day in London!
We started off at the Natural History Museum where it was obligatory to see the dinosaurs and creepy crawlies, of course. Followed by the mammals where Eli wanted to see a tiger and then we spent loads of time looking at various whales etc whilst Eli tested the interactive displays to check they really were child proof. Job done!

Once again the weekend demonstrated what a diverse life we seem to live at the moment, and quite how many opportunities we have to participate in all walks of life and be ready with a word of encouragement, listening ear, tissue(!) etc. etc.
Eli Learns To Skateboard
by

4.8.10
Here's a few of Eli's earliest attempts at learning to ride his skateboard. He's desperate to go to the local skatepark and judging by his progress so far it won't be long before he's there. One senses a trip to the ER might be in the offing.
Air Powered Car
by

on
18.7.10
On our last trip to the Sciencentre we got a kit for making an air powered car with a coke bottle so this afternoon I set about having some fun with the boys seeing just what this air powered car can do. As you can see from the video below the results weren't stunning although we did have some better successes later on. The main thing we found was that the harder we pumped the car the better it did on the grass.
Joel's Musical Debut

We're really proud of Joel and how he's suddenly got to grips with his recorder. Thanks must go to Mrs Muscat who is a great teacher and a brilliant friend! Joel's enjoying the recorder and is focused as he knows that if he does well then he'll get an electric guitar. Watch this space!
Eli's Latest Bike Trick

Eli's only been riding for a week without the baby wheels but he's already keen to develop some new skills on the bike.
Joel Rides His Bike
by

17.5.10
Following hot on the heels of Eli learning to ride his bike (Eli Rides His Bike) without the baby wheels (as my boys disparagingly call the stabilisers) Joel has mastered riding too and needless to say is very proud of himself. As is his Dad! We're definitely a bike mad household now.
Winter seems to have arrived early and with a vengeance! The rain over the last two and a bit weeks has been horrendous with only the odd day of calmer weather. Thankfully we missed the really bad storm as we were in Franschhoek which doesn't seem to suffer from the Northwester like we do here. It all makes us very glad that the woodburner is in and the wood arrived (see: Firewood below) as it's the only form of heating we have in the house.
