We’re ok!!

We are ok!  Aria is ok!  Well I guess nothing has changed which isn’t what we would of hoped for.  She is still waking up early and still coughing.  It is hard work getting up so early but Hamish reckons he doesn’t mind.   I really do still think something is up but just not sure what.

In the mean time we have been having a grand old time.  We had a family dinner last thursday.  Aria loves loves loves her cousins.  They are rowdy, clever boys who makes her laugh and laugh with their antics.  It is quite cool.  We also celebrated Venesio’s 2nd birthday at McDonalds and Aria was so funny demanded to know where her happy meal was when the other kids ones turned up before hers.  AND on the same day Rebecca and Matt took Aria to the Zoo and she had heaps of fun.

We also had my 2nd cousins and great uncle staying for 3 nights.  We enjoyed their company very much and learnt a lot from them.  They are missionaries in Columbia and have an amazing vibrant faith and I feel renewed just talking with them.

And on a cautionary note, our tire blew out on the way to church on Sunday.   We had a flat awhile ago and didn’t have time to take it to Drury Tires.  We took it to some cowboys who really should of advised us to change the tire at the time.  Anyway months later it blows out, thankfully we weren’t going at speed.  Long story short, we took it to Drury Tires (like we should of done first time) and replaced it AND picked up about $1000 of donations :D

Anyway please keep praying for Aria and a sleep in for Hamish.

UPDATE Yay!  Aria slept into 7am this morning, finally for the first time in weeks!  Yay!!

    Glad to hear Aria is still ok, and that you are all still safe, despite your blowout! That must’ve been a scary experience for you all. Great news about the donations! We started going to Drury Tires last year and noticed Aria’s appeal donation box there and happily contributed.
    Lots of love xx
