How was your day?




About 2 ½ years ago Jason and Kody started “How was your day and what was your best bit?“ when sitting down for dinner. During that time we have kept up that tradition, occasionally changing the rules and loving to see visiting peoples reactions when placed on the spot to think of a good part of their day (Hey Cousin Sharon ??). In the last a month Imogen has either not been awake or wanted to say hers. Tonight she did : )).

Kody – sitting down with Imogen watching monsters versus aliens;

Mum – eating a yummy stir fry (made easy by gorgeous friends who pre cut everything : )) and being told I am gorgeous and beautiful by Immie;

Imogen – hugging daddy really tight;

Dad – hearing that Immie had a best bit and getting some of the fence done.

And the answer to how everyone’s day was ? - GOOD : D, got to be happy with that : )

Another day done and dusted.

P.S. Whoops forgot to add Ashton's best bit even after he made sure he told me before going to bed...Ashton - Everyone shaking their head at me, so then I do it back, it makes me and everyone giggle : D

I'm glad Immie was able to manage hugging Daddy really tight and enjoyed it.

Wishing for more hugging tomorrow, but most of all, NO PAIN for Immie.

My best bit was reading your blog post. :)

Reminded me of when Kods, Immie and Gramma came to visit us in Kal and I got to participate in the honoured tradition while we ate dinner at Chicken Treat. Kody said his best bit was seeing Livvi and paula, and immie said very solemnly her best bit was seeing Auntie bibby and "that girl". I felt like a million dollars, hehe ;)

It has brought a smile to my heart that amidst all the depair and heartbreak you had a moment of sunshine today with Imogen.
Sending you all good thoughts from England.

Hello Lovely Holmes Family,

What a lovely read this morning - we do the same thing at our dinner table - an important part of any family's day.

My good part of the day is reading this post this morning and imagining Imminie Cricket and her daddy hugging really, really tight.

The best bit of my day today was reading this wonderful post - hugs are so good too Immie.

We do this in our family - probably not as often as we should. I feel happier knowing you all had this lovely experience Immie.

Blowing you kisses, beautiful girl.

Dear Fi, I can't believe I kind of "wished Immie away", I really don't mean to do that. I think I nearly understand how hard it is for all of you, the inevitable is coming, but at what price...So terrifying; to still be having such wonderful moments with the girl of your dreams,and the next minute who knows...So unfair and hard for all the Holmes Gang and family. Stay strong and keep rallying, love from Kerry. xx

It was great to read about "your good day".

Our good part of the day was the whole family playing monopoly. It was nice and mostly friendly.

Thanks for the reminder to treasure every moment.

Thinking of you all.

dana said...

thinking of you all the time

Millie said...

Morning Lovely Family,

Thinking of you each and every day, wishing Immie much peace and no pain.

Big Hugs to you all
