Hi all, Mark here - Dee's Dad.
As mentioned in the last update, Dee has shown me how to do all this so here goes.
Dee's going through a 'can't be fagged' phase at the moment (quite understandably) and I thought it would be good to share a couple of highlights over the past few days.
As she mentioned, I tag-teamed with Mum (Lynne) on Sunday.
An opportunity arose for an outing so Dee, Dane, Lydia and I set off to the Fish and Chippery in Mornington, then on to the foreshore reserve to eat, play and just soak up the big outdoors.
After an Ice Cream from Mr.Whippy (can't believe he's still going-must be getting on a bit) we made the journey [crutches and all] down the ramp to 'Mothers Beach'.
After reaching the bottom Dee spotted some rocks 50 metres along the beach so away we went.
After finding a comfy seat on the rocks the kids stripped down for a wade/swim. It turned out to be a wonderful photo opportunity until the camera batteries gave up.
Good fortune, however came along in the form of a phone call from my parents (Dee's Ga and Grandpa).....'Where are you guys - we'de love to join you'. And so they did, less than 30 minutes later witha camera that worked and all.
Needless to say, by the time we got home Dee was out for the count, but was heard to mumble that it was all worth it, before falling asleep.
Other significant events worth noteing are a trip to the hills on Wednesday, and a wade in the local pool this morning.
Although Dee's energy levels have been particularly low of late, we have been blessed to have been able to share these special moments and look forward to all such opportunities ahead.
