Just to let you know that our thoughts are with you and we're wishing you all the very best! Si & Vic xxx

hi how are you both?.

sounds like you are having a fab time. Nothing exciting to report here!!. we are off to france next week, ready for a break and hopefully a bit of sunshine. My mum and dad have just recovered from the visit of the grandparents a.k.a may and julian. Eve and mathew are fine also. Bobby just keeps getting bigger and more manic by the day!!!.
keep enjoying yourselves, be safe, love lara and malc.

HI guys
Have just spoken to Joan and its not good news about the twins. Both of them have picked up a bug (not mri)
and are in intensive care. Minnie the smaller twin is in an incubator and has been sedated, leila the larger
twin is in an open cot with the tubes draining her stomach and seems to be doing better. Helen is a lot better
but had to go for a scan yesterday as she was still losing blood, but they have told her that it is nothing serious
and will sort itself out. Poor Helen is beside herself worrying about the girls, but hopefully the tests on the girls
will show which bug it is and then they can treat it accordingly.
On a brighter note had a lovely night at Sheilas for Camerons first birthday, he is a little gem, so happy and
loves being with people. He is walking with help, but it wont be long before he's running around.
Glad to hear 1 of the parcels has arrived with Louise, (theres another one somewhere Louise!)
Looking at the weather in new Zealand this week, you may need more warm clothes!
Hope youve found some work to ease the finances.
Lots of love
and take care, no more rolling out of the back of vehicles please!

Hello both, Thanks for your 'card'. Nice that you remembered. (I am trying to forget them nowadays!)
Good to see everything is still going well for you. We are just preparing for tonights garden party for my 60th. Nobody told the weather about it though. Its the coldest day of June today. Not to worry, I don't think we are going to let a little thing like that spoil it. Just have to start dancing a bit earlier than usual.Will let you know how it goes. Sue keeps shouting from the other room, I think she needs some help. ( she sends her love ) as do we all. contact you again soon. All the best. Neil Sue Tom and Amy

hi everyone
What a swelter today, 27 degrees and its still 20 out there now. will need fan in bedroom tonight! can you believe it! Yes helen has had twins, I am sure I told you Louise. Noah is not one yet and she has twin girls
They were 5 weeks early. They are called mimi and leila. pronounced layla. One is 5 pounds and the other only 3
pounds and identical. Helen had a cesaerian and lost 6 pints of blood. she is not too good, very bruised and
having back pain, her legs are very swolen and joan sounds anxious. The girls were doing well, breathing and
feeding on their own, but are now being fed intraveniously as they have lost weight and used up too much
energy. Helen is too porely for visitors yet so havnt seen them. Louise, have the parcels arrived yet?
Dont want the poms to get cold!
The dvd and postcards have arrived from aussie, will send card on to graham and mandy and the dvd when
we get it copied, hopefully!
Debbie is having a little party for Cameron on Friday at Sheilas, he is 1 on Friday.
Cant believe that its a year since Val came over and we went on our trip to Italy, time does seem to fly by!
Love to all
alison and Ian
