One small operation for 3 major problems


YIPEEEEEEEEEE!

We got the go ahead for Adenoids, Tonsils and Grommets for Amalie! Its going to make such a huge difference to her life I am so excited.
At last she will be able to sleep all night (they say it will help with her night toilet training) and she will be able to breathe and talk easier!
They wanted to do it tomorrow! TOMORROW!! But its a 2 week recovery so we opted for 11 April - in the school holidays so that we can all be around to help with the recovery.

Ironman 2012


The day had been set and planned for for a year.
He had trained for 52 weeks to swim 3.8kms, bike 180km and run 42kms.
Three days before the race the weather doesn't look good. Two days before the race they are calling it a "Weather bomb" like we have never seen before. One day before the race - its cancelled. We couldn't believe it.
The day of the race came and the weather was just as they said - a bomb. Roofs torn off and power cuts.
The next day they did a half iron man course so we put on all our green gear and stood out in perfect weather (can you believe it was perfect) for 6.5 hours and cheered our brother in law on. he did awesome!
And yes that is him running towards the finish line with a bucket on his head!
