Big-Brother-Bear-Babysitting

Justin has been on an adventure holiday in Cape Town hoping to find a job there. For the 3 months he was there he worked as a bar man, a carpenter, a plumber, a handyman and even helped on a farm in Tsitsikamma that strip tree bark to make compost. He is convinced the Cape is for him, and feels he left his heart behind coming back. His mission is to work a bit here in Gauteng before going back. But while he is here, looking for a job, he has to "work" in our house as a babysitter. The pay is not great, as he only gets food and lodge. But he is connecting with his 3 little sisters and creating a special bond in this time. I really believe he was led back here to help me. With the long Easter weekend approaching  and Annah being on leave he is a "God sent" !!! I look at my 4 children and I know I feels so rich. They are such a blessing.

There's no other love like the love for a brother.  There's no other love like the love from a brother.  ~Terri Guillemets

When Justin arrived back home the first thing we did was take a photo of him and Ruby. I took photos of Lily and Lexi with him when they were two weeks old, so there wasn't a second to spare taking it Ruby now being seven weeks old. This was special as it was taking straight after they met for the first time. And it was love at first sight. Ruby has that effect :)

He takes them for walks 

Plays in the sand with them

Gives Ruby a bottle while I'm busy, something her dad hasn't done yet.

Lexi loves falling asleep in his arms

Lexi just loooooooooves Justin and looks at him with eye pouring with love.

Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.  ~Marc Brown

The other day I did my grocery shopping while Justin kept them busy playing on the toy's in Clearwater mall.

 Done playing around, heading home, but a waaaaaay more fun walk to the car  :)
