Pics of our family

We usually try to go on walks when the weather is good.. and no I haven't cut my hair- it's just in a messy ponytail. Ethan has been pretty miserable catching cold after cold. Also for the past few days, he's had a sore on his tongue and a sore throat on top of teething. ( He's getting his pointy teeth- incisors that didn't hurt too much but it's the ones beside those two, that is causing him pain because they are bigger. He's been taking liquid ibuprofen for fever, teething gel, and honey n' glucose syrup for his throat. Today, he's much better and much happier. He has also started patting his chest somewhat like a gorilla pounding on its chest but he does a pat pat pat sound which is lighter. Very cute and I am hoping to get it on video. Yesterday morning was amazingly hot. Around 23 degrees C in our house and outside even warmer outside so I took Ethan for a ride in his stroller for an hr and half. We were in shorts! I didn't think that would happen! Then he had a nap and we played while daddy got some much needed work done. In the evening, we went over to Mama and Papa Zee's for a BBQ and to play with doggie Bruno. Adam and I were really excited. Ethan just decided to go for a nap just before we left to go to their place. When we got there, we put him on the couch with lots of pillows around him. Then went into the garden, but just as we were going to sit down and eat, it started getting cold, windy and started to thunder and lightening. So we moved dinner inside, Ethan must have known dinner was ready because he woke up just before we were ready to eat. Dinner was lovely. Ethan ate really well too. I've made him Shee fan ( Rice congee with chicken and egg) He really likes it and it's a relief to see him eating solids again after the last few days. He also has been trying banana but today was the first time he actually ate pieces of it! Yay! As most of you already know, Adam (Daddy) has kidney failure and his transplant is scheduled a week from now on Aug 7th. Mama Zee has been working tirelessly and has found a flat (apartment) in Manchester for Uncle Dan and Josh when they go back to University in the fall but also to act a place for us to stay during the transplant and Adam's and Papa Zee's stay in the hospital. Grandma Mary is also coming down to be with us. So many heartfelt thanks to Mama Zee. We love you!!!
