Especially for Glen and Jennifer.....

...ok.ok......I know...been ages again but all I can say is sorry, we are having so much fun I can't get time to get on to keep this as up to date as I had hoped.



Our friends Glen and Jennifer have told me they check this twice EVERY day and are not happy that there is nothing new to read....I think they are really just worried that I will post their pictures from Jedburgh. Oh look....here they are here. Hee Hee!

Anyway let get things updated....what have we been up to the last few weeks.

Well we have been to haggerston Castle for a holiday and then to Jedburgh "camping" for a wet weekend except that we were in a caravan unlike the two families we were with!!! Jennifer loved it though and can't wait to do it all again!!! ha ha!!! i think the tent is on sale on ebay!! LOL

Pictures from Haggertson are here.

We have also made the papers....we had an article printed in the Edinburgh Evening News, you can read it here, there are no pictures online but when I get them from the photographer I will post them here for you.

There have been 2 fundraisers this weekend too to raise funds for us to take Adam and the boys to Legoland and Euro Disney. Thank you so much.....peoples generosity is amazing. It is certainly easing things financially for us in that we are able to do lots with the boys during the holidays that we would otherwise not be able to afford. Thank you, thank you , thank you!

We have got quite a busy week ahead too, hoping for nice weather tomorrow as we want to take the boys to the zoo, on tuesday Adam is scheduled to have an MRI scan, this will give us some indication on how sucessful the radiotherapy has been, wednesday we get told the results, so fingers crossed that it has worked as well as it could have, thursday we are up in Perth for a special opening ceremony where Adam is VIP cutting the ribbon for CCLASP's new holiday cottage, friday should be quieter and we are going to our friends Dode and Sharon's for dinner. On saturday Adam has been invited to be mascot at the Hibs v Middlesborough game at Easter Road, we are all going, and then next sunday, Spike golfing all day, David is taking paul and Marc to Sunderland to the Ajax game and Val, Adam, Scott and I are all going to CCLASP's annual family picnic......so I think you will agree a busy week ahead, will try and get back on as soon as I can and post pictures of those adventures.

Adam is still coping quite well, in the last week he has become a little unsteady on his feet and puts his head to one side to look at things - these are normal symptoms of his tumour. He is very tired and we need to take his wheelchair most places now if we have walking to do, he seems to enjoy it though am sure we would all cope with getting a "lift" every now and again, eh? Don't quite know how we are managing all this but we have to keep going, can't waste a day!

Ok am signing off again for now.

I hope the scan went well and that the results tomorrow are as good as they can be.

I'm sure everyone who knows you all wishes we could out you all in a wheel chair and give the whole "clan" a lift - just for a bit.

You are in my prayers...

I have so many great memories of the Haggerston Castle holiday park. I went every year without fail from when I was about 9 to 18 but haven't been back since then. I think the area and the park itself are just awesome.
