Life has been busy busy busy during May for us and I have been reliant on my diary more so than any other time in my life. June is shaping up to be just as busy but I am feeling pretty confident with my diary usage been much better than it has been at any other time, that it will be manageable.
In May, Amelia turned 11. We had a Saturday afternoon party. She had about 10 friends over. It was a great afternoon.
Brigette also had a birthday. She turned 15. She decided she didn't want to have a party this year because she wants to have a 16th. I hope she doesn't want anything too big.
Joseph has been doing lots of therapy for his leg. We had a trip to Adelaide for him to see the Rehab specialist. Joseph is going to have botox treatment for his left hemiplegia in June. We are having another block of physio with a couple of physio students this month on Fridays.
Christopher has also started speech therapy. There is still a lot of sounds that he doesn't seem to be able to say clearly. At the sessions, it is really obvious that he is progressing well but I still have to remind him often at home when he doesn't say words correctly. If he has a second shot at them, he can usually say them very well.
I have meet a couple of home school families in Port Augusta. We have started to get together fortnightly for the children to socialise and the mums to have a chat. It is great to have some other families here for support. Sometimes home schooling can seem like you are all alone in the world so this group has been a gift from God for me.
Thanks for visiting.
Therese.

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

I have been wondering where you had been, I have had a crazy month too!
May God bless you and your family.
Hi Deanne,
I think any mother of 4 or more could describe their months as crazy.
Thanks for the blessings Victor.
I didn't know about Joseph's hemiplegia! My you are dealing with a lot my friend.
Thanks Jeanne, It was probabaly hard when he was first diagnosed. It was the main reason I decided Tom and Amelia had to go back to school. I felt like I was wearing too many hats and they were all about to over balance. God has helped us through this though and I am sure he will continue too.
