A big thank you to Amy for getting me up and running again with my photo upload! Thanks a million! Here are some for good measure and memories! :-)
We're the mixed (up) clan who reign from South Africa (but originally from Scotland and Holland) and Germany. My great grandfather and mother and are part of the "Logan" clan. Also got a lot of Afrikaans blood in my veins. My husband, Michael, on the other hand is German...with a strong liking for burgers - the Mac sort. This leaves us with our nickname "McSchmidt"somehow bringing us both under the same umbrella and uniting our heritage. Do our poor kids have any hope with us lot as parents!?!

Princess Josephine's birthday party
The pictures are all a bit back to front - so they arrived full of energy and after much running around and sprinting, they did kind of cool down at the end (the first photos here).

Our Japanese boys: Perry, Ion and Kenji
Ion - he has a gentle heart and spirit. Still full of energy and fun though!!!
Isn't he just so cute!?!? Kenji was one of the older boys (nearly 6)
Lina - cute dimples!
Buddies: Ion and Kenji
Princess: sliced 'n diced. The kids just gawked at the massacre. No one ate a bite! They just wanted to see it cut! At first Josephine wouldn't allow it, but after about an hour curiosity also killed her cat and she had to see how that doll had gotten in there.
I loved the way the children GAVE Josephine her gifts. They quite literally gathered around and adorned her with jewels, hairclips, you name it. It was so sweet. Even the boys did it!! Wow!!
Beautiful Nina putting clip on earrings on Josephine. So loving.
Here, all the kids gathered around like real comrades to GIVE her THEIR gifts. They were so happy for her.
Evie in full swing too!!! So nice to have her trying hard to be part of everything!
