I WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU

How to Dance in the Rain

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victi m of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.

He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?' He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.' I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. 'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, But how to dance in the rain.

I WANT TO BE PREGNANT AGAIN

SOOO THIS IS MY ULTRA SOUND

It amazes me the journey that we have taken in our years together as husband and wife. Today is Dave's birthday and tomorrow our 14th year wedding anniversary. We have certainly had our ups and downs but can say more Ups then anything else. We have been blessed with 3 beautiful children who are all their own spirits. We as a family enjoy a wonderful groups of friends both close and of course those who live away but are in our thoughts always. We have family beside us as well as away and again they are always close in our heart and minds. We Have started or business this year and Dave is busy with his job as Technical Trainee Management officer at the Army Training centre. I am busy working the business( casual only) by day and hairdressing by ( appointments only). Then of course there is all the kids sports commitments etc.

So why is it that during our adoption journey with Zian i wrote that to have the blessing of a daughter into my family would complete me????????????????

Well friends and family i am here to say i am not complete and that we have decided to put a application of interest in the QLD system in the hope we will be able to welcome another child into our family. This process will be extremely long and with no guarantees from both the Government side or ours that we will have the blessings of our dream. So we ask that you do send a pray / positive energy our way. We are looking into special needs program to see if this would fit our family as well. We are Hoping the China program is again for us and a daughter would be a miracle however a boy will fill our hearts just as much.

The QLD program is so so so very different to N.T program and i so so so wish we could use the same program we went through to have Zian enter our lives..

So officially from my end i am PAPER PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The QLD department will firstly have to officially receipt our paperwork and wait another 12 month to education and even been oversea paper work. I will keep you informed during our journey ahead..

We headed off for a week to Airlie Beach.We stayed at a Big 4 Caravan park which is so family friendly....It offers lge swimming pool with 2 slides, 18 hole put put, jumping pillow,jnr and snr playground plus tennis and basketball court. Kids had a blast,

We now allow the older two the freedom of the park and they make friends from other families now. Next two Tayn and Paige also get some freedom and love riding their bikes with no training wheels all around.The little two Mia and Zian want the freedom and try and follow the others but stay around us......They love riding their bikes as well.

A fire truck came and spend some time educated kids on fire danger.Kids loved getting to hold hose and spray water everywhere. Mia was the only lucky one to get to sound the siren.

We had tea parties with the littles kids and baked cookies.We did painting and craft and ate lots and lots of yummy food.

We went into water lagoon at Airlie beach for a day and swam and walked around Airlie Beach.

We were sad to leave and come home!!!!!!

Some foils pls mum

Yep im the dude!!!!

Yes it is that time again and the kids are on September school holidays for 2 weeks. I find by the end of term that jake is in need of r&r. The brain has started to fry. Jake's school just had their fete, which Jake was allowed to attend by himself. Yes i have stretched the umbilical cord from our house two doors up from the school, to allow him to attend by himself. he was given the rules and codes if he required help with my mobile number written on his arm. I can now report that i was so proud of him as he came home at the check-in times i asked of him and he had no mishaps and he really enjoyed the freedom. but of course now he wants the umbilical cord cut..Mummy is so not ready for this, and he is only 9 3/4 years old.. Double figures are approxing fast. So with school holidays here he boys usually want crazy hair so i have some pics for you. I just love to play, can't wait for Z to want some foils.(hehe)

We have all just been through the flu,vomitting and other end. So life hasnt been all smiles for a while. We have decided that we all need to get healthier and stress less and stay happy longer. So we will build on this over holidays!!!!!!!!

Take care and will post holiday pics as they come...
