We haven't been looking forward to this week. But we better get it over and done with.
Joshua had opthamology again today. We went expecting to find out whether his eyes were sending messages to his brain. But came home with the same answer, wait and see. Wait and see, wait and see. That's all they ever say. Surely with all your advanced science, your tests, your knowledge you can give us something more than wait and see? No? Thought not!
We can still cling onto the hope that he may have developmental delays in his eyes.

16th anniversary
16 years today. When we got married we were fresh faced, innocent, children. We've grown together, created our family together, laughed together, cried together and been together over those years. I am one lucky lady. David is my best friend, my partner, my lover.
So, having told Dave that my new sewing machine was an anniversary present from him... My present to him was a self purchased drill arrived today. He was over the moon that the drill was green.
Poor Dave had to go to work today, so we'll have our date tomorrow.
We did however clink glasses with a glass of champagne, prior to David playing playstation and me finally getting a chance at playing with the new sewing machine. I can thread it, and sew a straight line, talented huh?
Phoebe once again travelled to school alone. Dave was late getting to work, because he was costing a job up, so he picked her up on the way in. I think she was disappointed about being collected again, but pleased to be going to dads work. Why oh why do they have to grow up?

1st one back to school
Phoebe went back toddy, she has a new teacher, Mr Strong, not quite the image from the Mr Men books I was expecting.
She woke up super early because today was her first day travelling to school alone. David really didn't want to let her, but she is 10, and secondary school is so close now. I couldn't quiet leave her to travelling home alone too, so I went with the boys to collect her. She didn't fail to show her disappointment at being collected!
Phoebe is persisting in her vegitarian streak. Tonight while the rest of us had duck wraps (yummy) Pheebs had mozzarella and tomato wraps, although I think she enjoyed them.
Oliver popped around into nursery to see Miss Eames and Keely, he is looking forward to going back now too.
Owen kindly went to Tesco this evening on his bike, I was reluctant as first, but again keep thinking, they are growing, give them space. He came home terribly shaken, the bike chain got stuck and he very nearly got hit by a bus. It took everything I had not to say, see... that's why we don't let you use the bike.

Home Made Kites
These kites were a huge success. So easy to make. David took Oliver and Ben to the park to play. Over an hour they were entertained.
If you want to make them follow these easy to use instructions.

It's David's 35th Birthday
David woke up to a morning chorus of "Happy Birthday" performed by the Sproggs and myself.
Unfortunately the personalised gifts haven't arrived, but his Sherlock Holmes tickets have. Jean is all booked to come over for a little baby sitting.
After going to the hospital with Joshua we were off. The only dampener being the use of public transport, yuk.

Josh update
We know we've still got a long way to go until we know with any certainty what's instore for Joshua.
Josh had an opthamology appointment today (also David's birthday). They could confirm that he has healthy eyes, he is short sighted. We have to go back next month to see the consultant. Hopefully he will be able to say whether the brain is receiving any information from the eyes.

Music School Summer Concert
I love these concerts. I look forward to them for ages. THAMES always put on such a good show. And... this time, The Parents Choir were making their début appearance. Nerve racking, but loads of fun, we sang Let It Be by The Beatles.
Phoebe played flute in the foyer but I missed it :(
The Owen and James played Everlong. http://youtu.be/atwULJAsqzU
