We have just spent a glorious 10 days in Natal. We were privaledged to spend time with our lovely family in a place called Sheffield which is just up the North coast past Balito Bay. WE flew into the new Shaka Airport which is very swish and smart. The drive to the beach house is about 20 minutes from the new location. These Photos are taken at a litle farm. Jethro loved feeding all the animals and even enjoed a ride on a pony. He said ' I did not even need to walk because the horse walked for me."
This post is actually about Jethro. Jethro Nathan Falconer was born on the 5th January 2006. It was a hot day like any at this time of year in The Cape. Dougie knew Jethro was a boy and had kept it a secret from me until just before he was about to be born. Doug chose the name right then and there. Our choice had been either Jethro or Nathan and so he is Jethro Nathan.
Jethro is a delightful little boy. He plays hard, works hard , loves hard and fights hard. The great joy of knowing this little is a real blessing to us all. He is quick with a smile towards someone he knows and quick with a frown too. He loves to draw and is pretty good at it too. He loves peanut butter and pizza and chicken and that is about it. This year Jethro was in the Turtle group at nursery school and at times he really did not want to go to school. But as the year progressed, these times got less and less. He did not always like the children either. He does however have a small handful of firm favourite friends. Matty and Kiara rank highest and then a small little trickle of others he is getting to know.
Jethro loves his brother Samuel and Samuel, equally loves Jethro. At times they behave like twins do , creating their own little space and world of play, where noone else can enter. Tomorrow is Jethro's 5th birthday. I am amazed at the time that has passed since those first days of his little life. We love him dearly and thank God for this little boy. We pray that God will continue the work in this little boys life that not a day may go by that Jethro will not call Jesus " My Lord and My God".
