So it has been ages (about seven months) since I was regularly blogging about stuff. Alicia is now seven months old, and there is no coincidence that the 2 time periods are the same.

Alicia is quite sick right now. She has a virus that has over excited the mucous factories in her nose and lungs. Horrible cough and very blocked up nose. It has not been fun and games in the Tuffin household these past few days.
n’ Boer maak n’ plan

Directly translated that means “A farmer makes a plan” but here in South Africa we understand it to mean “you make do with what you have”.
Saying I love you

Ever heard of the five love languages?
It is no accident that I listed my own top 2 first on the list. But this post is not about love languages specifically

Fathers Day

This morning after receiving my awesome fathers day gift (sorry no pictures, most of it has been eaten) I picked CJ up and told her that despite the fact that it was Fathers day that the day was actually about her. After all if it were not for her (and later Alicia) I would not even be a father.
My Reasons

I have not posted here in a while. Why, you ask…
Priorities! Over the past 2 months I have had to decide many times to do one thing over another. Ok a lot of the time there is no real choice, its just that some things get done and some other things don’t get done.
Andy Stanley (@AndyStanley on twitter) once said that there is always too much to do and not enough time to do it all, so you have to choose who you are going to cheat. Cause you are going to cheat someone or something so choose wisely.
Taking one for the team

This picture has huge significance in my life right now!
Nappies (or diapers to those of you in some other parts of the world).
This evening, after her bath, I was dressing Alicia. She started crying, one of those cries that breaks your heart. I picked her up to comfort her. Nappies are very important, trust me, one wet shirt and trousers later, I know!
So that’s how :)

A while ago I asked this question.
How do you convince a 1 week old baby that night-time is for sleeping?
Well I think I have an answer.
Chair build

Every now and then you have to build stuff for your kids. The other day I had to build a chair. Marla and I (well Marla mainly) wanted to get a reclining chair for Alicia. Something that she could sit comfortably in while we got on with things around the house.

You know those experiences that just turn you off something?
Like the time I ate so many tomato flavored chips as a kid and it made me very sick. As a result I could not look at tomato chips for a good number of years.
Or like a friend of mine who can’t eat anything with sweet chilly sauce, cause she got food poisoning from something that just happened to contain the stuff. You have had one of those experiences right?
Think about it, I will wait…
