After almost 3 months off school, thanks to the dreaded virus, we are back at school! The kids were so excited!

Hooray! We have arrived in beautiful Thailand! We have lots of Thai family, so it was really fun to make some Thai crafts and eat some delicious Thai food!

This day has been emotional! We went home.. back to South Africa! My Mr is from South Africa and we moved there in 2013, and lived there until 2016..
