I was admonished the other day for showcasing Isabella and not putting up pictures of Jake. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to Jake and to rectify the situation. He's alive and well and flourishing at his new 'playschool' here in Newlands. He's there three mornings a week and comes home nearly every day with new finger paintings and other projects. The kid is a gem and the teachers love him. I've included a picture here from our trip with the Pinkhams (Susan's famous 'Vermaaklikheid' email). For those who've never seen one, Jakey is sporting an English riding helmet.
