Unexpected way to spend our leave

It's been a long time between posts and a lot has happened! Firstly our Long Service Plans have been unceremoniously ditched as a result of my husband's need for weekly treatment in Launceston. The prognosis is good, but the word itself was a massive shock to us all. The first treatment was Thursday last week and continues Fridays for 5 more weeks, then a two week stop before more tests to see whether the treatment has been successful.
Chris and Dawn flew in from London last Wednesday afternoon and were at the hospital after the first treatment - it's fantastic to have such wonderful family support. Our kids have all been wonderful and our little GD has provided us with lots of "comic" relief.
Easter has been spent at home and we have had the whole family here for lunch on Sunday - the very first time we have had everyone here as Dawn hasn't been back since Addison arrived. Was a very special day for all of us and a real boost to DH.
I've actually managed to get some sewing in - finished off the black stripey bag and yesterday I made a pretty little Christmas shoulder bag to go back to London. Two more in the planning!

I also managed to cut out one of the 2 blocks for our FIS group and hopefully will get some more time in the sewing room today. C+D off to Launceston later this morning and DH has gone off to work - shorter hours, as in 8 hour days rather than 11!!!
