Hello.

Tonight I am making fruit  scrolls. I though while I was waiting for them to bake in the oven, I would post here since I haven't posted for a while.

Joseph has had his glasses for nearly 2 weeks now and he wears them everyday. He occasionally takes them off and puts them on the ground but will usually put them back on when we ask him too. His leg muscles are tightening up again probably because he has had a growth spurt so we have some more physio sessions for him this month and Steve and I are spending a bit of time getting him to kick balls with his left leg. I also take him to the foreshore most mornings. While we are there, I get him to walk across this low stepping bridge with his left leg first and to climb the stairs to the slippery dip with left leg first too. 

Earlier this week, we had solar panels put on our roof. We had 21 panels put up and we are hoping this will be enough that we don't pay for electricity again or that we pay very little for it. With 9 people living in our house, our electricity bill is huge so this seemed like a really good investment for us. 

Also this week, I watched this youtube video for the first time. I loved it and have watched it several times since.


I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.

Hi Therese,

We had solar panels installed, two years ago. It's made a huge difference to our budget.

I enjoyed the video - thank you for sharing!

I hope Joseph's leg improves. I'm keeping you in our prayers.

God bless, Therese:-)

Hi Deanne, Wouldn't it be amazing to be in a place like that when it happens? I hope one day I am somewhere that something like this happens.

Hi Vicky,

We really hope the solar panels will do the same for us. I am pretty confident they will because already we have been feeding into the grid and it is the middle of winter.

Thanks for the prayers for Joseph.

Therese.

Hmmm, I'm guessing they've figured out how to get the laws of thermodynamics to work for these solar panals. good luck :)

Hi Joe, I don't really know much about the thermodynamics of solar panels but I really hope they will save us a lot if money.

Solar panels are a great idea. I think we should look into them again - although we don't get much sun!!
Good for Joseph keeping up his exercise and all the encouragement you give him. God bless him and help him improve that leg.
God bless

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.
