OCTOBER 2017

Hello my Emily-Ann!

You had your treatment on the 2nd October.  You are so brave - never a cry or a tear as they put the port in.
 You always come to us after a treatment and this time it was Thandi's birthday so 
we had cakes, sweets, chips and cold drinks to celebrate.
 You had a fund time outdoors with Mom and Dad - hopefully not whizzing down steep inclines!
 
You and your Dad are BFF's and you like to climb all over him!


On 6 and 7 October we all went to the iMfolozi Game Reserve.


It was very dry, no water in the pans or the rivers and we saw elephant digging holes with their trunks in the river bed at Sontuli in iMfolozi to find water for the babies.  
Dennis and Rita shared with Greg and Sharon and Gumpie and I shared with you and your parents.  These photos were taken at Hilltop.  



We love going to the Game Reserves and your Mom and Dad feel that it is important for you to get to know the wilderness and the animals that live there.















On your birthday, all the ladies wore princess tiaras.

  We had pizza for supper and a special cake with two lots of candles - one a number 9 and then also 9 re-igniting candles that are almost impossible to blow out.  Every time you blew them out they flickered and burst into flame again!  Greg snuffed them out in the end!

You had a special photo-shoot with make-up on for your dancing show.  Just see how grown-up you looked with a bun, no glasses and full make-up.  Like a beautiful young model!








 You looked lovely in your yellow outfit and Em, it was like a miracle to watch you dancing on the stage.  This isn't something we even dreamed of when you were diagnosed with OI.  We were so impressed with your perormance that Gumpie and I went backstage after the show and gave you a bunch of flowers.  

Mom bought two big pumpkins and cut out faces for Halloween


 You also went to a Halloween party dressed as Pirate

Em you are doing so well at school that we are getting quite poor!  We always reward you with a little bit of pocket money when you do well at tests and lately you have done so well that we have paid a couple of hundred Rand in rewards!  Very proud of you noo-noo - love you lots, like Jelly-Tots!





You had a good time at rugby and met more of the Sharks Players.
