GOING...GOING....GONE!

HI there

eli here....
all is well in the world of the simpsons...i ended up having my noodles out on wednesday arvo...bit of a drama, but they are out and it is an AWESOME feeling not having it in anymore...mum held me tight, and i was very brave (and doped up on stuff that made me feel very woooozy!)...a couple of big yanks and out it came. After nearly 7 months of having it in, it seemed impossible that it would ever come out! But it has and we are all celebrating!
BUT thats not the ONLY thing we are celebrating...i am writing this from our HOME in lakes...we finally made it HOME HOME and BOY does it feel fantastic...
after a 6 hour trip (i had to have a pit stop of course) we finally made it home to lakes. mum said she cried like a baby and dad was keen to set up our fairy lights on the balcony...its just the little things i guess.
as mum says, our home looks like a bombs hit it...but we will get there...8 months of being away from home and accumulating HEAPS of stuff, will do it to you!
anyways...just wanted to let everyone know that our dream has come true and at this stage we are all safe and sound! We will have to travel to melbourne every monday at this stage for our 'bloods' and check up from dr steve...
thanks so much to the leukaemia foundation for having us so long in their north melbourne flat which we called home for 5 months. Their constant support has been absolutely fantastic and allowed us to be a family in our own space...thank you SOOOOO much.
thanks also so all our friends and family who have been with us and will continue to be for the next few months...u guys are totally special and we cannot thank you enough.
Thanks also to the special staff at the hospital for getting us to a point where we can go home...awesome.
thanks too to aunty hayley for helping mum and dad by 'spring' cleaning our house before we came home...it was a huge relief to not worry about cleaning (we have to pack all our stuff away now - yikes!
welcome to my new cousin "clare elizabeth' who was born on 30th september...i look forward to meeting her one day soon.
also big kisses to my pa in sale...it was so great to see him after soooo very long...
lastly, thanks to nana in bacchus marsh who helped us move our stuff and clean the house in north melbourne...she did a great job helping us.
betta fly
lots of love
