MARCH Madness!!

Well Friends and Family we have finally found the time to update you all on our little lives in South Africa. So sorry for the long delay you might have thought we had forgotten about all of you! Well enjoy the long read we have a short newsy little bit on the Family Fun and an update on our Ministry Memeories for each month of this year.

Family Fun
We had a full month of big milestones. Tryston found his TOES!

Look at how we have grown WOW such little “men” in our smart shirts!







Brothers all alike – mom is having fun dressing all THREE the same. Very confusing so many think we have TRIPLETS!!











Both Treyson and Tryston are sitting and playing really nicely and the bottoms seem to not be too round!















We tried out the walking rings a couple of minutes everyday and that has been a hit. Troydie likes to play bumper cars with his brothers so it is quite wild as he pushes them around and into each other. They think it is wonderful and giggle with glee!!












Tryston is up on his knees ready to go and then promptly at the end of the month put his co-ords together and started crawling YEY for Tryston he is on the go.













We introduced the twins to some solid food and boy did they love the cookies, enjoy the porridge and not to sure of the veggies!!













We had a wonderful outing to the Botanical Gardens where Troydie fed the ducks well really they wanted to help themselves out of his hand. Treyson and Tryston were so interested in the birds they just looked at all of this in amazement!












We had a wonderful day of celebration on the 15th of March when we prayed and thanked the Lord publicly for our twin boys. Pastor Stuart shared with us as a family in the dedication service of our boys to the Lord. We are praying much that they come to a saving knowledge of our Savoir and Lord.















We had a weekend off from ministry at Durban North and went up to Joeys to visit Uncle T. It was great fun. We played in the garden, visited a fun coffee shop where Troydie got to ride a horsie! (he just loved it – he wanted to go again and again), the twins even got to ride on a play play horsie and gave big smiles, got to shop, ride a train and enjoy time as a family. (Side note Tan celebrated her 30th birthday this month well done you made it!! The big ‘THREE O’ !!!























Ministry Memories
Mark is still so enjoying his opportunities to preach and being stretch all the time. Tan ran a cark making afternoon to help encourage and teach ladies to make birthday cards. This ministry is one where every lady in the church will receive a hand made card for their birthday via “snail mail”. Many of the ladies have been so blessed through making and receiving special cards in this way.
The Young Adults bible study group is going so well Mark is so encouraged to have so many faithfully attend.
We praise the Lord for all our ministry opportunities.
