In Our House This Week

So what is happening in our home this week?

1. School Holidays - hurrah! Since we don't need to sit down and start school by 9am, we are all enjoying a slower start in the mornings. It's so nice to have that little bit of extra time to work on projects and go on outings together.


2. Our regular carer/home tutor, Karen, is also taking holidays so we were happy to meet Jo, another in-home carer. She is dropping in for a few hours twice a week to spend some time playing with the kids.


3. We met with the local Cerebral Palsy League team at a gathering in a local park today. We also met some other families from the area, which was just lovely. A delicious BBQ (including vegetarian sausages and banana chocolate muffins) was provided and we each added our handprint to a special banner.


4. Garry's parents are holidaying nearby, so we plan to catch up with them for dinner one night, as well as spending some time at the beach with them. The weather is really starting to warm up, so the water is looking very tempting indeed.


5. Garry has been hard at work preparing for the wheelchair path project - marking the track, ordering supplies, and making sure all is ready for the excavator next week. Christopher is pretty excited!


6. I am heading to the university to prepare for a student presentation about abdominal assessments. Since none of us wish to bare our own abdomens for the demonstration, I have purchased a 'macho man' apron to use instead. Pretty cute, don't you think? NOT!!
