So for the last two days, I have read lots of blogs and caught up on news in general. I have read everything in my reader for the last couple of days and left a few comments too.
When I decided to cut back blogging to three times a week, I decided that I would try and find the time to reply to all the comments that were left here. It was something I saw Vicky, Sue and Victor all do and liked that they took the time to reply. I keep on missing replies though. I am hoping that will be one thing that will change now that I have a tablet and internet is much faster and accessible.
Tom's confirmation was a lovely night. Daniel, my mum and Daniel's girlfriend Cassie all came down on the Thursday and stayed until the Sunday. On Saturday, Tom's God parents came as well. I managed to sew Tom's pants and most of his shirt but we had a disaster with the sleeve. I was having trouble getting button holes in the cuff so after unpicking two bad button holes, I decided to put some studs in. I put the first one in the wrong way and realised straight away. I knew we wouldn't be able to fix it in time so we went to Target and got him a new shirt to wear instead. I still don't really know how to get the press stud out so think I will cut a new cuff and remove the other one. I will hopefully get it done during the holidays. My dress was really easy and I managed to finish it off while I was waiting for Daniel, Cassie and Mum to arrive. Photos will come soon.
Joseph had the botox injections a week ago today. The Rehab specialist said it would take about a week for us to notice much difference. I took him for a physio session the next day and we could already see a marked change. I am really confident now that this treatment was just right for him and that we are going to see improvements in his walking and stance.
Tomorrow is the last day of term 2 and we have two weeks of holidays. I am looking forward to having time with everyone. Daniel will be coming during the middle weekend and we have a few outings planned.
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.

So glad confirmation went well...enjoy your holiday!!! Cathy
thanks so much Cathy. We are really looking forward to the holidays.
Therese, I struggle with trying to keep up with my blog reading and such. For the last year or so, I have had over 1000 posts in my Google reader! Finally, I just had to "mark all as read" and start over. When I read blogs through the Google reader, I often don't comment just simply because it's not conducive in that format. I think I prefer things like they "used" to be...where I visited my favorite blogs and commented all the time. Sigh...
Either way, I'm glad you're back and you can bet that I visit you everyday!
I'm glad the Confirmation went well and that Joseph's Botox treatment is working, Therese. It sounds as though you've had a good couple of weeks:-)
I think you're right about blogging being easier with a tablet. I love the conversation that happens and the wonderful friendships that come through the comments. It's a lot of fun, too, though, I'm thinking of blocking Victor - he's terribly offensive! ;-D He actually makes blogging worth the effort with his funny comments and his friendship. Sometimes, I wish I could post the comments and archive the boring post!
God bless, Therese:-)
Nancy,
Thanks for letting me know that you are reading my blog in google reader. I use to check stats on my google reader and see how many people were subscribed to my blog. Since Google plus came out though, a lot of their pages have changed and I haven't had the time to work out how to see subscribers.
Vicky,
The tablet is much easier for commenting. I was talking with Steve about it this morning.
I think we all better be nice to Victor. He may become even more offensive if we block him or speak badly of him lol.
Thanks for letting me know about the blogger app. I downloaded it this morning so will use it a bit later when the tablet has charged.
Congratulations on Tom's Confirmation and I pray Joseph is well.
Hope you're all OK.
God bless you and your family always.
