April swung past almost as quickly as March - and Feb - and Jan! Cannot believe we're a third of the way through this year. It really is true, the older you get, the quicker the years go.
So:
Josh had his operation
Trip to Heathrow to say goodbye to boys :(
We had a new boiler put in, about time too, the old one was here when we moved into the house, 21 years ago! Wasn't even replaced when we had the huge extension (and did not want a repeat of last November when the immersion tank burst!)
Ella has had 2 sleeps at respite
1 visit from our SSW
I visit from N's HV
Took an old fosterling to the cinema - watched Boss Baby - too bloody funny!
Didn't take part in the A-Z, first time in 5 years. Did A but I wasn't organised - will save the topic, and the A post for next year :)
1 allegation - false of course!
2 foster carer meetings
1 Mencap meeting
5 doctors/hospital appointments
1 visit to A&E
13 lots of taking and collecting from contact
Jeff went to 2 car meets
Meeting with an organisation to try and sort extra respite for Ella
Still have 3 fosterlings and Ella (of course!)

Treatz in Reading


I just love these 2 photographs. Ella actually managed to eat most of hers, after she had given me her wafers and strawberries which I didn't mind in the least! I wasn't convinced she would, I mean look at the size of it :) The photo of the baby - oh how I wish you could see her face, such a picture. And while I was setting the camera up she managed to grab some of the chocolate sauce, and put it all over her hand and face. Note to self, she can stretch further than I think! LOL! By the way - the mint freakshake was for me, not the baby ;)

Lake Tahoe here they come


Love these photos - although had to censor the boys! And this photo of Ella with the baby fosterling - the baby adores Ella, and after the last 2 lads that caused Ella stress, it's lovely to see Ella developing such a positive relationship with a fosterling :)

Poor Josh - another adductor longus repair :(


I love this photo - getting ready for surgery and it was like, "Take a photo Mum, I can make anything look good!"
