Hospital Update

Not me this time, but Zac. He has an issue which he'd rather I didn't blog about (or talk about, or, well, just about anything about!) and the specialist today was pretty happy with his progress. Looks like he won't need an op if he keeps focussed on the therapy. Yay Zac!

The boys

Bran & Zac started a blog today (it's linked to my profile) as they have started the Waitakere Library's summer reading programme. I have high hopes that comprehension will improve - to their dismay I am asking them to tell me, with the book shut, something they have learnt from their reading today.
There was a small outcry. LOL.

This is to cover Friday and Saturday...cause I was too tired to post last night.


I AM GRATEFUL that it was a gorgeous day on Friday and I got to walk with Mase thru Devonport exploring (Si was doing his medical. Funnily enough it was about the same time 24 years ago he did it for the first time! Things are coming full circle).
I AM GRATEFUL that we recycle things. Brought this pencil sketch print for Si at the Goodwill equivalent (photo to come).
I AM GRATEFUL for the family I am attached to. Si's sister and her husband are visiting, so we have had a Christmas dinner tonight and shared presents. Wonderful night.

Today I'm grateful that we have easy access to quality health care. Mase is still under the weather so went to his GP today.
Also that the boys chose fantastic presents for other people.
And that the new wireless broadband set up worked! Phew - I still have some kudos in my house :)

the first feed :)

Mase can now polish down 250 mil and still say he's hungry, so we've started him on Farex. Seems to be working okay on his little reflux tummy!

the first mouthful - I think I overloaded it a bit (ya think?)

Today I'm thankful for:
little boys who love surprises - Troy from WAB gave me some Transformers posters and boards so Si, his friend Kevin and I decorated the room. The photos aren't the best as I had to use my cell but they show the expressions!

for the spring sun - Si & I did a dummy run over to Devonport and walked around for about an hour looking at houses and so on - which is why I had to use the cell as the camera is still in the ute!

for the piles of washing - at least I have people to dirty them, even if there is a reluctance to put them away!

today I'll start off by following a suggestion by Becky - a week of journalling things that I'm thankful for. So here we go.


I AM GRATEFUL that Si has a job upcoming that he is excited about.


I AM GRATEFUL that I am just about caught up on the trademe sales.


I AM GRATEFUL that as much as they annoy me at times, I have kids. Altho this photo acurately says how we are all feeling at bed time! Lets just say that the Ladder of Certain Doom is getting a damn good workout!
