Immies in hospital

That HUUUGGGGEEE dora Balloon,
Immie normally only gets a Balloon when
she has chemo, but I could not resist this balloon,
so soon after her Dora Birthday Party.

The big teddy

Granma was asked to bring in the big teddy with spots
so here he is. Mum and Dad bought him for me when I
was about 11 years old for Christmas. I remember
begging them for it. Oh an spot Granma in this photo,
she is doing a wheres Wally?

Dr Bernie..one of our favourites

Hi
I hope u guessed Imogen was taking those beautiful
snaps above, you usually have to position yourself right
to actually get in the photos. That means bobbing down, or standing
on one foot and then being ready to jump to one spot quickly when she
changes her mind.
Cute...Immie
Love The Holmes Gang xx

I find some more pics I can't possible miss out.
Here are a few on my brilliant family.

The new puppy Aggy

Hi
Today we finally got to visit the Ledgers it had been
a long time coming as we had been waiting for Immie to be
right and for the Ledgers to get over the normal cold etc.
Immie had a lovely time holding the guinea pigs with girls,
and learning all their names (sorry girls can't remember them!!).
Kody and Rupert spent time buliding some new creation.
It was great to see them, and see how well Imogen got along with
other kids still.
Love

Me and my Girl

Me and my girl

Hi
Here is a picture of me and my beautiful, strong, amazing girl.
Every day that we sit in PMH, I am in awe of her, there have been
many moments when I have been overwhelmed by my sadness
and the common "WHY US?" feelings. I try to hide this from
Immie but she always knows and offers a tissues and a hug.
Then I end up crying because I am so grateful for my lil
girl and my fabulous family. Immie and Kody have been our
rocks through this all, when we have felt down I have looked to
them and known all will be ok today. Imogen has the incredible
ability to forgive and forget, the stuff & pain she has gone through,
with us and the nurses/ doctors, and then when it is over it is
like it never happened the cheeky smile returns and
your heart is melted,
Kody with his ability to care for his sister and write us the
powerful slideshows and notes, telling us that it will be ok,
are what makes the difference.
We are thankful for being blessed with two beautiful children.
Love to all
The Holmes Gang

Our Cookin' Monster

Making the sausage rolls for the party 22nd of April

My guess..cooking a cake..what a suprise

Oh look cooking again..waffles this time

Hi
Imogen has this incredible ability to know when
anyone is cooking anything where ever she is in
the house or out. She knows the sound of the mix
master being taken out of the cupboard, the sound
of the pantry door opening or sometimes just senses
it. Out she comes..."what you doing, are u cooking?".
Before you know it the chair is being pushed along to the
bench (watch out if your in the way she is a women
on a mission) . Immie is there "me help", "I stir" and
then at the end is always the official taster...
"mmmm, i have more"
She is a cooking MACHINE!!!

Hugs for all
The Holmes Gang

The day of the planned Party

immies busy art work

Card from Granny and Granpa Middlmoor

Wrapping the dolls up that she got from them

Hi all
This is the Sunday (22nd) that would have been
Immies Party, she was definately not ready for
a party. Immie was very sick and miserable
when Granny and Granpa Middlmoor came to see her
on the Saturday. She was sick because of the chemo
she had in cycle three, it is high in a chemo drug
that is linked with delayed nausea.
Imogen was very excited about the dolls
and there little rugs she got as a present as she loves to
wrap everything. One day she spent an hour wrapping
a banana in the hospital..easily entertained or what!!
Love and Hugs

Lining up for practise

Jas and Mouth guard boy Kody

I am not sure who these boys are but I was
amazed by the size difference between two under
9 players....

Hi all
Kody's first taste for football this year a Round Robin
against the other teams at an oval in Mount Lawley.
Jas and Kody went along first and jas helped out
a bit. Then Livi and me came along to watch the end,
Kody enjoyed himself and before we knew it was over.
Love and Kisses
