Ally update

Not only did we have a lovely visit with Ally the night she came out of hospital, but she and my brother visited us in Maryborough-land Thursday night! I even took a video of her walking and bending - still so amazed at her healing. Catheters etc are still making life interesting but Ally is handling them so well - she's an inspiration, for sure! Ally is back at work for a couple of hours most days - is taking what she can do to keep her financial situation healthier:)

This photo is of Ally trying a comfy position the night we visited in Brisbane.

Ponderings with photos

I love this photo of Gary and I holding hands! A joining as a team; working on things together; solidarity; commitment; unity; LOVE!
Chloe and Saraya set up and enjoyed a tea party under the poinciana tree in or front yard - the delicasies were coered at this stage were covered with a tablecloth due to inclement weather but "the show must go on" ; complete with a very large umbrella as the rain came down heavier:)
This is my suddenly mature 8 year-old; I have so much more respect for Chloe and her personality and faith and courage since we went through the hospital dental operation - God certainly walked through with both of us and I think we're closer because of it:)



This photo was tken on Mothers' Day at Queen's Park.

Pop-Bruce recently introduced Chloe and Declan to the wonders of carpentry (with the hot glue gun, paddlepop sticks, coping saw and other assorted goodies) and a simple power drill (shown here taking apart a dvd player - and then reassembling it after looking at the tiny components). Thank-you so much Pop-Bruce:)

Winter with us
