Pregnant, moving and jealous!

Salaams to all out there...wherever you are
I think Sumaiya's suggestion about aiming for December is not a bad one - it will give people enough time to plan a trip to Durbs. Not sure if I will be able to make it though - I will have just returned to work after maternity leave and I'm not too sure if I'll get leave so soon...but that's fine - as long as most people are there it should go ahead! The rest of us can catch up and see the pics on this website.
On a personal note, Riyaad and I are in the process of moving. We have bought a house in Darrenwood (not too far away from As'ad's place for those of you who know where he is). So we are busy with packing and sorting things out - very hectic given that I am 31 weeks pregnant! So if anyone has some free time and wants to help.....just kidding, but if anyone is coming up let me now and you can pop in for a visit - a round trip between Qasim, As'ad and myself shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes. So no excuses!!!!
Zahedah emailed over the weekend to let us know she is in Belgium and busy eating Belgian waffles with chocolate (the cow!!!) and was leaving for Amsterdam....what a life! Hope she doesn't take to the weed chocolate that Aslam told her about that's available in Amsterdam!
Love to everyone,
Zaynab

About that Reunion

Assalamu-Alaikum to All.
 
thanx for that picture Aslam, Alhamdulillah, the kids look Masha Allah...for all of you that are "dying" to know about the "reunion" I think we should reconsider, for the christmas break... when most people are on holiday in Durbs, anyway...  The beach is gorgeous at the moment but the days are too short to for the long awaited reunion... Maybe Ashraf can make sure that he is in the country then.  asking for suggestions is falling on deaf ears, so I will assume that there are no objections to the suggestion... insha Allah will take up the call for the reunion closer to the end of the year...
 
For those that don't know yet, Katy Kala gave birth to her 3rd daughter, some time last week.  Baby is fine but Katy Kala not too well. Please remember her in your duas...
 
Love and Salaams to ALL

Grandchildren

Asalaamu alaykum,

I have been on leave since the middle of March and we decided to drive up to Johannesburg for the weekend. My mother went with us to see all the grandchildren, of course. We actually managed to get Qaylah and Ibrahim to sit down long enough to take this picture. From left, we have Qaylah (Zaynab & Riyaad), Yusuf (Qasim and Sameera), Ibrahim (Asad & Summaiya), Issa (Asad & Summaiya) and Muhammad (Aslam & Saaleha). May Allah protect and guide all of them.
