Snow

Last week when we went to the snow there wasn’t any, so we tried again on Saturday. It had been much colder and raining too, so we thought our chances were good. AND THEY WERE. Snow everywhere!

Meg had the most fun, and Jess whinged much of the time (yeah to my prediction there!). Jess didn’t like being so wet and cold, she just wanted to go back to the car and change pants and socks. Holly and Meg really enjoyed making snowballs and throwing them at Justin and I, as well as slip sliding through the ice. I think Meg would have stayed all day if we had let her. Just near the carpark the road was very icy and it was quite nerve racking feeling the car slide, even though we were going about 5kms an hour!

Last week I had to get Amy’s hips x-rayed for her appointment with the Orthopedic specialist. She has not been a good girl! When I put the braces on her at night, she screams bloody murder and then I go in later to check on her and she has taken them off. Smart cookie! So I rang the doctors office to have advice and they made an earlier appointment to check what the status of the hips are. I am hopeful that all is OK – I’m just putting that out there, because the more positive my thoughts are the more likely they might be true! So that appointment is next Monday. Anyhoo, I was waiting for the films and a friend of mine works upstairs so I popped up to say hi and see her new office. She was my boss when I was at the Hearing Centre all those lifetimes ago. She was showing me the new advanced hearing aids and equipment and it was startling how far technology is coming along – eg hearing aids that are tiny and can link up to bluetooth. Incredible! So we were chatting and she offered me a job. And I said yes. It involves hearing tests for the ENT specialists (pre and post surgery tests) GP referrals and some children. I am super excited. It is a regular gig, one day a week, so the babysitters are lined up and ready to go. Maybe this will be the start of me getting back into the field. I can still do some of my baby testing if they need me to fill in. All is good.

These are some pics from a walk around the mountain yesterday morning. Amy has grown so much lately that she doesn’t fit so well in the back pack anymore. She doesn’t like to walk for too long, but she was happy to run after me.

Have a great week.
