What a week. It was a busy and sad one all round for our little family. Jackson decided he did not want to sleep during the night - untill we figured out he needed more food - which we thought impossible. I had a busy week at work meeting with the State Reps on the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, where as Brad was busy getting the car fixed, which meant he and Jackson had to travel on the bus to Mahen's - our pram and carrier are in the car, which is still in the shop - We did not plan very well we know this. On a very sad note my Aunty Carmel, who was at my wedding for those who remember, has suffered a severe brain heamorage, mum flew to Melbourne to be with her. Thankfully mum is surrounded by her other sisters and family during this especially difficult time. Aunty Carmel is still in ICU and after surgery their has been no change. My Aunty Carmel is a battler with a kind and generous heart, she knitted a beautiful christening blanket for Jackson which I hope she gets to see him in. I believe she lost her own son to cot death many years ago, and has a soft spot for our beautiful little boy.

Jackson recieved a beautiful present - it was addressed to Angus - his prefered name by many, however we do not know who it is from - this sounds absured I know however we were so excited to recieve a package we forgot to take in who it was from. There was no note inside to indicate who it was from - so who ever sent this amazing hand sewn quilt please let us know! Angus LOVES the bright colours and the black and white eggs keep him mesmerized - it has become his special play blankie - as you can see with all the toys!.jpg)

After a long week Jackson had had it! This picture was taken after being collected on Friday from Mahen's, a long wait for a bus and the ride home, he was alsleep on Brad before he even made it up the stairs- Mahen almost cried when I left with Jackson for the weekend as she was going to "miss little Jackie soooo much" she also invited him to their new year on Wednesday if it would be a problem for us to care for him that day - i believe Mahen loves Jackson just as if he were one of her own which is so lovely for him to be surrounded by family, I call Mahen's boys Jackson's brothers as he follows them about with his big eyes when ever they are in the room!

I feel jipped... his only aunty on one side and theres not even one of the photos of us together??? whats the go... I'd also like to point out that i did say that the name angus would cause problems ... but did anybody listen? ah well i guess being part harding wasn't going to be enough emotional baggage for the child... glad to see you're all doing well and being happy. have fun. xoxoxox aunty pearl
I knew my sister Gayle had sent a quilt so I checked with her and this was her response...Dear Vicki, Yes it is the quilt that I sent. I'm glad that it arrived okay and am delighted that Jackson likes it. What a cutie. It looks like a very happy young family. Could you please forward this for me as I couldn't seem to comment on their blog.
I'm so glad that you can leave Jackson with someone that loves him and you trust. I know that must make it easier! Thanks for updating, even with as busy as you are.
Jack is looking great! What a smile that boy has! And an apppetite that is still growing! Let's see how this goes then: Jack's appetite gets bigger; Jack gets bigger; Jack gets bigger, his appetite gets bigger and Jack gets bigger...his appetite gets bigger...I would recommend that you start putting away bulk supplies of food for this boy!
Sorry to hear about your Auntie Carmel...hope things go her way. I bet it won't be long before Jack is running around with Mahen's boys...nothing better than good examples to get him motivated to start walking! (Pay attention here - your eyes will not move fast enough to keep up with that Jack!). Better add a restraint system to your shopping list as well! Always good to read about everybody, Love to all, Bob/Dad/Pawpaw
