New fabric for Paddy's leggie......






On Monday we had an appointment with the limb centre as they thought Paddy might need a whole new leg.  As she only recently had the one she has got adjusted, it turned out she didn't need a new one.  However as we had been to the fabric shop and chosen a selection of fabric and they didn't like to let her down they put a new skin on her leggie anyway, they are just so fabulous at the Limb Centre and will do anything for the kids!
As you can see from the pictures Paddy chose three fabrics, we did this because not all fabrics work on a leg.  Number one choice was the gold, followed by the stars and then the leopard skin.  Paddy had her news in her class on Monday before her appointment and took the fabrics in and the general consensus was to go for gold!  
They tested all three and all worked really well, the leopard skin looked fantastic I was really surprised, maybe next time!
The reason the leg looks more bronze than gold is the resin makes the fabric go darker, needless to say Paddy is thrilled with her leggie!

Poppy's birthday.....




Recently my Dad just had his 72nd birthday, Dad hasn't been so well over the last few years, so it is always nice to celebrate a birthday......Dad reckons he is like a cockroach very hard to exterminate, he likes to look on the sunny side of life.....so hope you had a great birthday Dad!!

Dinner at the Walsh's.....






What do you get when you get three families together for dinner?  Lots of kids, lots of fun, lots of noise and lots of food.  Several weeks ago now we had some family friends around for dinner, and to say it was chaotic was an understatement, I think my Dad hid in the living room the whole time and only surfaced for the food, and then he made a hasty retreat!
As a kid I used to love going around to our cousins for dinner, we all had the best time and this reminded me of that.  We are at the stage with our kids were everything is so much easier, no rushing home to get babies to bed etc, etc.  I know our winter has only just started, but roll on summer so we can get back into the barbies!!

Coming soon....

Updates will be coming soon, sorry have been very slack on the blog front......I am hooked on Facebook!
