Another Update and some more thanks

WE'RE HALF WAY THERE!!! we have made $15,000.00, which is half of the cost of the implant itself! And a week shy of James' 6 month birthday too! And it's entirely thanks to all you wonderful people who have supported us over the last six months.

So some more of you to thank...
- The Linden Women's Institute (Nana Betty's lovely ladies group)
- Siobhan, Ross and Samantha Gerritson
- Jessica and Hamish Denston
- Monica (Auntie Jenni's sister in law, i think, or perhaps Jenni's brothers friends dog walkers cousin's next door neighbours daughter... just kidding Mon)

No trip to Christchurch this week after all, as Joanne, our Habilitationist, is really sick (Hope you are okay soon Joanne) so hoping to head down sometime closer to the end of the month. James is still soaring away, having a ball. I took him to Mainly Music with Cameron, and he spent the whole time bopping away on his bum and shrieking at the top of his lungs to the songs. I put him across my knees to help Cameron to some of the actions, and he fell asleep in 20 seconds, noise and all, so worn out by the fun.
The weather here has put on the most wonderful show, with sun and flowers the weekend before spring starts, so everyone is happy and glad to be outside again. Cameron spends his days exhausting himself in the garden, and the dog is finally getting the walks she needs. James is discovering the joys of warm sun on a bare bottom, and is happy as a sandboy, (as we all would be if we could lie around bare-arsed all day!)
Here's to spring! Long may the sun continue!
