Happy New Year!




2011 all ready and we have just returned from a lovely new year in the borders with friends, one of whom reminded me to write on the blog, so here I am!
I have just realised we started this blog in Jan 2007 just after we had our scan and found out the news about Summer. Four years and another child later, I do not think I could have imagined how good life (and God) are to us.

Summer never fails to amaze me with how well she is doing. 2011 is the year she will start school, something she is very excitied about. I have spoken to the school we hope she will attend, it has a lovely attitude. She feels too young, but she keeps reminding me that she is allowed to grow up!

She is walking a little more with her splints and frame and she is a complete whizz in her wheelchair. We are about to look at getting a new chair. The NHS one on offer is rubbish, she can barely move it, so we will buy her one, finally using some money some lovely friends raised for us by running very long distances.

Another answer to prayer is that Social services have finally agreed that we do need some adaptations to the property, so we can start on them soon.

Summer and Katie are such a blessing to us, as are our friends, family and church family. Life as you can see from the photo is very normal, whatever normal is! I hope to write a little more often than every six months. Feel free to nag! Thank you for reading.
