R.I.P. JANETTE

Today Stew's South Island family say goodbye to their Mum.  Even though Stew was adopted out as a little baby, we were lucky enough to find his birth family and have been able to meet them a few times.

ABOVE: Stew and his sisters, Donna and Roanne,  visiting with their Mum. (he also has a brother, Richard ... on his Mother's side)
I hope the day goes well for everyone down there in Hamner Springs today.  The weather is supposed to be rather inclement.

Best not to dwell on it too much.  Really wish we could have been there.  *sad*

Wee Sienna got herself into a spot of bother yesterday....

 ABOVE:  one panic stricken baby girl... played with a Tupperware Shape-O toy... 

ABOVE:  and got her hand stuck inside it!  Russell said she was really scared her hand was GONE!  *smiles*... it's so funny... but not for Sienna!  She got chocolate once Russell got her hand out... so she was a happy wee girl again.

Keera sees the Doctor again today for a check up of the lump on her chest.  Lacy thinks it's growing, whereas I can't decide if it's bigger or not.  So it probably isn't.  But, the Dr wants to check on it every fortnight... so we will be there this morning.

THEN... Brylee has her Birthday Hair Appointment!  I am sure she is going to really enjoy that.

Only other thing on the horizon today is a phone call or text from our Aussy family.  Really looking forward to them coming over at Christmas time.  Just can't wait to hug my little Aussy grandkids.  

ONWARD...

ABOVE:  and so... it begins.

ABOVE:  the girls and Griffin waiting....

ABOVE:  Lacy made herself useful...

ABOVE: Brylee's new hairdo... which she loves.

 ABOVE: layers in the length... so pretty.

ABOVE:  then Lacy decided to get her's cut too... funny how she opted for a fringe too!

ABOVE:  looks like we ALL suit a fringe!  (bangs))  Lacy looks stunning... and she just LOVES LOVES LOVES her fringe.

Home now... Lacy and Keera are at their home and Bex and  I are taking a break... and watching Home and Away.  Bliss.

CRANKY:  No, we are behind here in NZ... I'm not sure by how much, but it's not much I think?
Casey just got kidnapped and Bianca's baby Rocco just got put back in hospital and she's mad at Heath.  Bla bla bla.  So.. how far behind are we???

End of Day:  went to bed early... but then remembered I had not 'signed off' for the day... so here I am... signing off on this up and down sorta day. Got a really niggly tummy.. wonder if it's the Metformin... or just me being upset by events tonight?
