We had lots of plans for 2009 when the
New Years fireworks hit the sky -- but now a full
month is gone, and how much closer are we to our goals?
We have all had colds and fever off
and on the last part of the month - Mireille went back
to work today after a few days sick leave, and hopefully
all the kids will be back in school on Monday. Rebecka
has one week left of her 4 week work experience in
connection with this last year of her high school.
Seeing she has specialized in the 'care industry' she
was real pleased to get the chance to do these four
weeks on the birth delivery ward of our cities hospital.
-- Just a few more month until she is scheduled to
graduate in the spring.
This last week has finalized most of
the legal custody snarls for our new 13 year old --
meaning her official status in our home has changed from
an acute placement to a more definate one. This takes
much of the problems of uncertainty away for the moment
at least. Another teenage placement has come and gone
several times the last weeks --life isn't always as easy
as it is cracked up to be!!
We are all getting ready for Mireilles
40th birthday the middle of the month (birthday is the
18th but the party is to be the 21st) -- We have invited
over 70 of our friends, and we have decided to extend
our party room (the former hardware department of our
building) with a 70 sq meter ajoining room -- got the
new floor layed last week. Now we hope we have room for
all the guests. We are all getting excited
and trying to put together a suitable program.
Emma had her 26th birthday the 16th
but we have postponed 'lighting the candles' as we have
been under the weather here -- Hope to get down to see
her this coming week. |
