Looking back, this has been a good month for our family...
Judith had her six-monthly visit with her oncologist who told her that her test results were all negative, clearing her for another six months. One always wants to exercise faith and be positive, but there is always a certain degree of anxiety in the days leading up to the appointment and a great heave of relief and gratitude to God when Judith tells you the good news.
The family secret is now out for the world to know. Geoff and Miriam are expecting a baby, their first, at the end of July!!! There is already much excitement, as you can imagine.
Luisa and Mark came back after an amazing delayed honeymoon in South Africa and Mozambique. We all spent last Sunday afternoon at their apartment/flat looking at some of the really lovely photos they had taken over the 4 weeks that they were there. I am still waiting for Mark to send me some photos for the blog. He also took a few videos of Aunty Bessie who is 93 years old.
Ingrid's bionic finger continues from strength to strength, literally. She has been very faithful to the exercises that the OT has given her and it has paid off. The occupational therapist's expectations have already been exceeded.
I have received a promotion of sorts. Some colleagues insist I have moved to the Dark Side. Whereas I used to be the lead for product validation I have now been made lead for engineering quality which monitors that processes are being followed correctly rather than looking at the quality of the product itself. The appointment was from January 1 and so far I have been enjoying it.
I have added some pictures of recent snow taken from the door to our back deck...
and of some ice crystals on our bedroom window.
