Goodness its been a long time since a proper entry! Sorry about that, been very very busy!!
So what have we been up to since Nikhita's birthday on 10th June?
Well ....... I feel like Granny Murray off Me Too!
Nothing too exciting. Feeding the ducks round the lake, going to group at the hospital, missed music group because we were tooooo tired and tooooo lazy! Went to see the genetic consultant at Rotherham hospital which was interesting. He couldnt tell us anything new, but they are going to take some bloods to test when Lew has his surgery on 16th July. The general outcome of the meeting was that the likelihood is Lew's condition is unique and new which means nobody knows what will happen!
We visited with Olya, Illya and Natasha and Lew loved watching Natasha being a flying fairy!
We visited Lizzie and Mavrick. Lizzie is the super dooper (duper? sp) beautician lady who did my make up for our wedding and we've been friends ever since. Lizzie has damaged her back and so is not feeling too well at the moment (including a trip in an ambulance to hospital and an overnight stay) so please send your happy get well thoughts to Lizzie cos she needs them!
On 12th June it was Todd and Toby's 3rd Birthday so we had a cake and candles at Hospital Group! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODD AND TOBY!!
Some pics of Lew at hospital group:
We spent alot of time with Denise, Oliver and Maisie - mostly eating yummy food (Denise is a fantastic cooks) and drinking coffee, putting the world to rights, that kind of thing. We also had lunch with Susannah and Reuben this week which was lovely!
I took Samuel and Lewis to the cinema to see Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer - and it was definitely FANTASTIC!!! Vue cinemas, at the moment, have this offer on called Family 8 - you can buy 8 items from a particular menu (including drinks, hot dogs, nachos trays, muffins, chocolate bars) for £6.96 ... now bear in mind that a hot dog is £3ish and a tray of nachos is also £3ish ... you can get 4 of each for £6.96 under this offer! You can only have up to 4 of any one item but who needs more than 4?! So me and Samuel had a hot dog each, a tray of nachos each (I again made the mistake of getting the salsa and not the cheese - when will I learn?!), a drink each and a kit kat each. For £6.96 from a cinema is a BARGAIN! So grab the offer while it lasts!
On Friday evening I was very lucky to have my colours done by Jane of Evolve Image & Colour Consultancy (
http://www.evolveimage.co.uk/) (thank you sooo much Jane for the superb freebie - I needed it!). It turns out I am a Winter which means certain colours suit me alot better than others and I finally can settle on a particular hair colour rather than ending up all shades of brown, blonde and ginger because I just havent known where I want to be! Its great, well worth the money (£50 for a colour analysis workshop), gives you some 'me time' and is a real boost as well, and definitely helps when shopping, particularly with all these bright colours around at the moment.
A random but gorgeous picture of Lew in bed!
On Saturday we had some lovely visitors - Karen, William, Elisha and Emily. Joe had stayed home, and Bethany had gone to a party I think.
Lew loved seeing the children, we had some great laughs and will definitely do it again (but this time Karen will be brave enough to get a taxi so she can stay for dinner and have a drink!). In the evening, Steve and James prepared another Indian feast for Vandanna and I which was delicious!!!!
Sunday was Father's Day - we hope all you dads had a great day and were spoilt rotten just like we mums are on Mother's Day .. hahaaaaaaa! James joined Steve in the pub for a quiet pint - a family tradition for Steve so I think James will probably join him next year again and make it his tradition too!
On Monday we had a lovely day at Tiddlywinks nursery which is held in the Church Hall at St Francis of Assisi Anglican Church in West Bessacarr. Lew made a sunshine cake
and also did some sticking as well as joining in the music game!
We then spent the whooooooole afternoon at Fundays Funcastle (St Sepulchre Gate) where we got a Bookstart pack for Lew and then Barbara (Homestart) spent a couple of hours with Lew in the ballpool enjoying interracting with the other children there while I put my feet up and read a book!
We also met Denise, Oliver and Maisie and bumped into Wendy and her two children too. It was a great afternoon, but we were all very tired by the end of it!
Tuesday was Teresa's birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TERESA! I wont tell you how old Teresa really is now, but I will tell you that her son Luke says she is in 9 years old so she's doing well!
On Wednesday we went into town as I had an appointment at the opticians. Lew went for a walk around the Frenchgate Centre with Jayne (Homecare) while I had my appointment.
On Thursday we got up late and went to the library for Storytime at 2pm. We met Karen and Craig, Heather, Daniel and Stephen there for a lovely story and some colouring activities then we had a quick wander round the town before heading home again.
Not much to do with all this RAIN!
Friday we went back to the opticians to order some glasses and that was pretty much it!
At school, Samuel made a celebration cake! It was brill and believe me, it tastes gorgeous!
We have spent alot of time walking round the lake feeding the birds this past couple of weeks - there are lots of babies this time of year (ducklings, cootlings (sp!), etc) and we have been prepared -ie. rain coats!!
Today (Saturday) we had a lovely morning at home relaxing and then went off to the 'Summer Fest' at The St Francis of Assisi Church in West Bessacarr where the Tiddlywinks nursery is.
It was a fantastic afternoon - the rain tried to spoil it, but the sun broke through and warmed us all up! There was a bouncy castle, sumo wrestling suits,
a tombola and some bric a brac. Oh ... and some GORGEOUS home made cakes!

Hello there!
Gorgeous photos - that child is beautiful. And at the moment he looks so healthy by comparison to some of the photos we took at Christmas and in February. I feel so jealous when I see pictures of people cuddling him - I wish I could give him and big hug and spend some time with him.
Lots of love, Wendy xxxx
