The Holmes Gang: Friends and Assembly

Hi all

Kody's assembly was a hit, very funny, they sang Walk like an Egyptian then performed a play, great entertainment. They did a fabulous job. The costume's were made by Mrs Hodgson (Kody's teacher) and the students. Imogen really enjoyed watching and giggling at the assembly with me, Granma and Jason.

Though most the most exciting news for the day was when my fab, artistic and creative son, Kody arrived home with paperwork for PEAC extended learning for Art students. He has been selected by the schools Art teacher as a talented art student. In a few weeks he will have an interview with PEAC to discuss three works of his art, and then we find out if he has been accepted to the program for next year. Cross all your fingers for him, will let you know the dates when they get closer. We are so proud of him for getting selected.

Yesterday after the assembly and after popping into Immies kindy (where we found out that both Immies teacher, the lovely Mrs Barker and the teachers aid, the wonderful Mrs McDonald, both weren't there and won't be there for a little while as they have both been to hospital for ops..whats the chances!!!), we went to see Penny (immie's best buddy), her brother and sisters and the ledgers new chooks!!. Imogen thought it was wonderful, and was very cute, giving the chooks a cuddle and then held Rupert's Lizard. It was great to see them all.

Everyday away from the hospital, Immie is getting back her spunk and cheekiness. I know she is getting better from the moments and conversations we are having together. Today we had a electricity outage, it made us realise how much power we actually rely on, and it gave me and Immie time to catch up on learning every nursery rhyme. Then special playtime with Granma (as there was no distractions from phones, Internet or TV) , when I had to go to the dentist for two fillings. The clear sign Immie was feeling better the afternoon, was when she started talking about how she is getting a cat soon. Imogen has wanted a cat for a long long time, just prior to relapse we were about to get her a cat. Then the relapse kicked that idea, because of the germs and bugs cats carry. My cousin Karly has a beautiful kitten waiting for Immie, just what she has requested a black and white boy cat which she has already named Milly, that needs to arrive in a big box with a bow (a girl who knows what she wants - what a surprise!!!). We have to wait a few weeks for it to be the right age. I can't wait to see the look on her face....
