First of all, no news has been good news. Ali is well, still getting the hormone treatment, tumours are small and not growing. Each week I keep thinking I should put something on the blog but then, either time gets away or there is nothing much too interesting to say.
As far as news goes...well Harrison will be turning 9 in less than two weeks! Last year still doesn't seem that long ago and I sometimes get the feeling he is way beyond his 9 yrs. He got his report card from school and he was more critical of it than I was! Only about 4 'A's for effort this semester. He has even asked me to prepare some 'homework' for him during the school holidays so that he can stay on top of it all. It's great to see him motivated but he also has the relax mode in hand so no hassles there.
One problem he has had is that he finally got the all clear to play cricket this season with his school (there was a concern that his warfarin may prevent this). He absolutely LOVES his cricket and could be found endlessly throwing a ball or bowling by himself in the back yard. Unfortunately though, he has injured himself. There was a moment where we were worried he had Perthes Disease (as it was something Alison had, can be hereditary, and is likely to strike at his age) however, it seems he has simply torn/strained a small muscle running across his hip. All the same, this means about 6-8 wks on crutches and no cricket for a while.
Annelise is still Annelise. Growing up quickly, getting into make up, music, etc. Her and Alison are heading up to Sydney tomorrow (boys weekend!!!) to go and see Mamma Mia with the cousins. No dramas with Annelise and she is growing up very well.
News flash - we are selling our house. This one takes up too much of our time and at the moment, we just don't want to have to worry about fixing bits and pieces or doing the yard. We have put down new carpet, painted the house (inside and out) and tidied up the yard. The place looks stunning and I hope we manage to get a fair price for it. It should be up on the net tomorrow so I'll post a link when it's ready and you can all look at the photos (or feel free to come along and spend lots of money to buy it). The auction is scheduled for 27 November so stay tuned for news on this.
I'm sure there's other things but at the moment, there's not a great deal more I can think of to talk about (my team lost in OzTag tonight). As always, I'll try to be more diligent with my blogging but then, when there is not really much to say, it's hard to sit down and say that.
Hope you all are doing well and wishing you all the best.
Andrew
