Friday, September 3, 2010

Monday 23rd August Another 3 weeks of the summer hols have flown by and lots has happened! The children all enjoyed their camps and predictably came back exhausted (also predictably I got loads of washing and ironing which I’m still wading through!). Blessing has her new shoes now and they’re. …pale pink this time! Thought we’d have the [...]

Tuesday 3rd August (Hope I don’t get charged for using that heading! You can tell I have a daughter who used to be into High School Musical!) Indeed it is Summer time, well the summer hols anyway!  Can’t believe it is 10 days since my last blog.  I’m enjoying the slower pace of things and forgetting to [...]

Another week has flown by again! Blessings Thanksgiving was wonderful! I managed to keep it together through all my favourite songs but broke down as I did the promises as a mother. We had lots of family and friends there and it was great to see some friends from St Francis too who have supported us [...]

The Portage visit went well on Thursday and our worker brought a lady who is a service co-ordinator with her. This lady makes sure we are getting all the support from professionals we need as well as the correct financial benefits. She will also help if we are having to fight for things or spending [...]

Today Butterfly had a day at the secondary school she will attend in September. She was so nervous but she got through it and I think enjoyed it! When I asked her how it went it was like pulling teeth trying to get anything out of her (!) but when Chewbacca got in the car [...]

Our SW rang today to say that as part of her research for Blessings Life Story Book she had met up with Blessings birth parents. She had gone with the Birthlink worker from St F’s who supports birth parents when they have lost a child to adoption. Our SW spent time trying to find out more [...]

We now have the new inserts for Blessings boots (another trip to the hospital!). With our Blue badge things are so much easier when we have to go the hospital as we can park right outside where we need to go for Blessing appointments. I still feel a little nervous about parking in the disabled [...]

Well we’re back after a good holiday in France. We went to the Vendee and Loire regions and the weather was on the whole hot, hot, hot! We were in a caravan for the first week which despite being a 6-8 berth felt a bit cramped at times. The children enjoyed the pool though Blessing usually [...]

At the hospital again today! Think I should get a season ticket! This time it wasn’t just for Blessing. Obiwan had an Ears Nose and Throat appointment, one of the check ups following his Grommets operation 18 months ago. All was fine and they have now discharged him. After that appointment I took Blessing across to have [...]
