Christmas 2008

Our plan is to spend Christmas this year in Mackay (failing better offers we'll probably head to Eungella after church to escape the heat), and then to drive down to Brisbane before 2009 begins. We'll be at CMS Summer School as usual, then drive home again ready for our third year in Mackay.

Wish us well on the drive - Mackay drivers are bad enough.

Merry Christmas, and God bless!

Laetitia's heart

The last couple of months of our year have been taken up with finding out about Laetitia's heart.

Last year Laetitia's Dad had his mitral valve replaced. Now it looks like Laetitia may need similar treatment sometime in the future.

You can read how this story started and also the current state of knowledge of her heart. You can also read Ian's take on the situation.

Platypus!

Just before heading for Brisbane for Laetitia's cardio appointments, we went to Laetitia's work social club Christmas party at Broken River, about 80km west of Mackay where we got to see platypus!
