Here we are again, on the other side of a busy weekend! Hope you all had a restful time away from work, and for those just about to begin work again….teachers and pupils….hope you all have a really good start to the new half term.
I’ll give you a quick catch up on the weekend here first of all.
Saturday morning was really quiet, after a calm night, except for Sam that is. He had landed very early to see Ella and of course was full of beans! Ella on the other hand was fast asleep all morning, as we waited for Daddy to arrive to take over,for the night. His arrival was quite exciting really, he landed with 4 little boy cousins and Uncle Gad ,all peeping through the door. They couldn’t come in sadly, but Ella had a little wave to them and promptly fell back to sleep again. Including Sam that made 5 little boys, all visiting!No wonder she went back to sleep.
After a bit of sorting out Sally and I left for home and when I phoned Damian later he said that Ella had been bathed was sitting up for a while during the afternoon.
Sunday morning was another sleepy one, for both Ella and Daddy, but by the time Sally and I arrived back Ella had been sat out on the bed/settee and was now back in bed ! It’s a case of taking advantage of the moment just now!
While I was home I emptied a couple of the boxes…ready to refill with some of the treasures we have accumulated over the months, and which can’t move to the new hospital. We are getting there, honestly. Apparently we can take one box, which has to include EVERYTHING. Watch this space…..
We have had, in fact we are still having, a very nice visit from Kate and Steven. They came along this afternoon and have been having a good chat with Sally. They have all just popped out to the Restaurant for a break, so it gives me a bit of time to ‘blog’ before Corrie starts. They brought 2 gorgeous dresses for Ella and a DVD of her favourite programme…..’Wild at Heart’….guess what we’ll be watching tomorrow. Actually, as I speak, Ella has woken up for an ice pop….as you do…..and at last Kate and Steven have seen her awake. She has been her chatty self. Lovely!
I’ve made several trips over to the washing machine in the igloo, to retrieve one of our snuggglies which has been in there for at least 3 hrs. ( I think another washer has bitten the dust). Finally, I had to end the programme and lug it back dripping. It seemed the best plan to hang it over the shower rail to dry, but not before Kate and I had tried our best to squeeze it. It’s still there now….dripping in all it’s glory.
We have had a lovely evening with Ella. She has fed us fruit, chatted away, started a new word search ( she really is brilliant, even at hard ones) and enjoyed 3 stories from her Milly Molly Mandy story book! Not bad for someone who has snoozed all day?
We are going to finish now and say night night. As usual we send all our love and thanks, for your loving support and prayers.
Ella, Sally and Annette.xxx
