JUNE 2021 - HELLO DEAR EMILY

By -

You were super proud when you managed to put Alex to sleep on your lap. 
Good practise for when you are a mother one day!
Hello my darling girl,

You are becoming Mommy's little helper when Sharon leaves your baby cousin with you every second week for two days.

You still manage to do your school work and help Mom with Alex.  

.

Its been very cold so I found a pink Unicorn microwave heating pad for your bed. 
I also bought a blue bunny heating pad for Alex

                        

Sometimes even Mark comes out of his office to say hello to the little Dude!


You had assessments again this month and so far you've done very well - getting 81% for your geography assessment.  Well done!  Your lowest mark was 59% for Afrkiaans.  I would've been happy with those marks when I was your age ♥



You came for a visit on 20 June and I was able to get this photo of you and Alex on the carpet.  His whole body is the same length as your torso!

After Greg and Sharon had left you and I decided to do some dancing in the lounge.  We stumbled over each other's feet and crash-landed onto the couch!  You hurt your arm and I hurt my knee when I fell on the ground.  Thankfully neither of us broke or cracked anything but you had a bruise for a a few days.



Your parents think that Ruby is coming on heat.  I suggested she buy some puppy nappies for her but she decided to make her a pair of pull on panties out of an old pair of hers, with a pad inside!  Poor Ruby did look a bit odd with the bulging nappy pants and her tail sticking out the back!

My darling Em, I was away for most of this month, walking the Camino to Santiago with Gail.  You know that Jeff had a big operation on his throat and neck last year after being diagnosed with throat cancer.  Afterwards he needed chemo and radiation and Gail cared for him and stayed with him during his treatments.  This meant that they couldn't walk with Gumpy and me in Italy to Rome.  Gail was very disappointed but I promised her that when she was ready, I would walk with her in Italy or Spain.  She chose Spain and on 9th May we flew to Spain to start our Camino. Tammy sent us photos of you while we were away and on your Dad's birthday we spoke to you all on Skype.  We missed all the May birthdays and the birthday dinner. You did your 400m swim while we were away.  We were so proud of you Em!! You had an outing with Mecayla. The mermaid swimsuit I'd ordered for you was  delivered - you look great in it - like a princess mermaid!

 Hello my darling! The months are flying by too quickly.  In a few weeks we'll be moving to our new cottage and you'll be flying to your new country! Mark had a farewell function with his team in La Lucia.   Apil/May has a full calendar of birthdays and anniversaries in our families.   29 April - Sharon's birthday and Greg and Sharon's wedding anniversary on 2 May.  (And on the same day Ruby got her Visa to go with you to America!)  15 May - Mark's birthday   26 May Gregs birthday  30 May Mark and Tammy's wedding anniversary.   On 10 June Jeff and Gail had a farewell party for you at Simbithi.   Only the ladies were allowed to say a few words this time. There were too many emotional men talking at Gumpie's 80th birthday and Gail and Tammy decided the ladies could do a better job! On 15 June we moved to the cottage in Doone Village.  You all came to help us unpack boxes and on Saturday we had a braai on our unfinished patio.  A few days before you left, the s
