Hello at last. It's been just over three weeks since the last post and life has been pretty busy with everything leading up to Christmas.
To avoid boring you all with the details, I'll get straight into things. I'm on leave from 24/12/08 and back on 5/1/09. Things are pretty busy at the moment which is good in many ways.
We are currently staying at a friend's house in Manly Vale while they visit Tasmania. We are having a great time and very much enjoying the beach lifestyle (except for Ali who hates sand, wind, water and sun - she gets to enjoy some peace while I take the kids to the beach!).
For New Year's Eve, at this stage it looks like it will be a sensible time and we will be back home in Canberra. We are heading back tomorrow (30/12) so there will be time to settle in and rethink whether to be sensible or not.
As far as news on the health front goes, we are hoping to get Ali in to see a specialist on the week starting 19/1/09 to talk further about the SIR-spheres and determine when we can go ahead with a treatment for Alison. She is continuing on her hormone treatments and is generally feeling pretty normal.
Kids are enjoying the holidays a lot. Annelise has forgotten which way around she is meant to be writing the letter 'k'. Despite this, she is looking forward to school next year with her new teacher.
Harrison is not as keen to get back to school but is still excited about having a male teacher for when he starts at Grammar next year. Then again, he remembers which way the 'k' should go as well.
Harry is not so bad and is doing lots of reading.
