Ali and boys arrived on Sunday morning just in time to join us on our outing to the Circus Coffee Shop for breakfast with Sandy, Godfrey and Kirsten. We arrived just after ten and had a super morning chilling over our breakfast. It was good to be out with friends and family and the time just flew past. It was almost one when we left going via the shops to stock up on things for the week. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and enjoying time with Travis and Josh.
Monday morning Ali took Hubby in for his wound check-up while I looked after the boys. Loraine was very happy with the progress of his wound and removed the KCI as there is nothing left for it to work on. The hole is almost closed up and must now finish closing naturally. Hubby was really pleased to have the machine removed and feels free now that he is not attached to it. The best part is not having that noise constantly going all night while trying to sleep. Late Monday afternoon we went into Alberton to meet up with Diane as well as Angie, Margaret, Julie and their boys to have Pizza at The Harvard Cafe. It was an opportunity for them to see Josh for the first time. We had a great family get-together and Travis really enjoyed playing with Byron and Jared.
Tuesday we all had a fairly busy day. Ali was feeling very energetic and cooked a whole lot of food for us to freeze and use as needed. Hubby and I looked after the boys between us, taking it in turns with Josh and Travis. Travis as usual spent most of his time outside playing and Josh gurgled happily with whoever spent time with him. He is three months old now and really cute. He loves to gurgle and laugh watching everything around him. In between I started my invoices and statements with Ali also helping with them while the boys were asleep. I carried on till late with my statements and scanning to e-mail. I actually fell asleep a couple of times while sitting in front of the computer and eventually went to bed about one in the morning.
Wednesday Ali took Hubby in for his next check-up while I played with the two little ones. Loraine was very happy as Hubby’s wound was still doing so well. Once Hubby and Ali were back we had lunch (Ali’s efforts) before we going into Meyerton to do some shopping and get a new back-pack for Travis for Nursery School. We got back in time to have a cappuccino before Ali bathed the boys and left for home. After they left I quickly vacuumed around the place before having my glass of wine. It was very quiet and peaceful on our own but we were already missing them as we both enjoy having them around.
Thursday was spent finishing off the last few statements and doing some cleaning. Friday we went in to Alberton again for Loraine to check Hubby’s foot. The wound is healing beautifully and looks really good. Loraine will be away next week so showed me how to clean and dress the wound. I hope it keeps healing so well while I am doing it. We went off to the workshop to check on things and I faxed the final few statements. We went shopping to get things needed at the workshop before stopping at Diane to pick up an Ottoman set she had bought herself.
Saturday we left early for the Pride March and after picking up a friend of Diane’s we arrived at Zoo Lake at half nine. Ali and the boys joined us shortly after and after putting them into their prams we went up to where the Parade starts. The day was already very hot with the heat wave that has just started. The parade started earlier than usual due to the heat. The floats were the usual colourful display with the most amazing costumes imaginable. Diane and her friend followed the parade around but Ali and I decided it was too hot to walk and found seats in the shade where we waited for the procession to arrive back. Travis really enjoyed himself and was fascinated by all the colour and music. We had a great day and really enjoyed the vibe of the event.
Sunday was a relaxing day with visits from Priscilla and Justine as well as Barney and Crystal. All for now. Have a fabulous week.
