Finn having fun in our own backyard.
We had a few days off last week and we bought Finn a sandbox (is that how you call it in English?). He wasn't sure he liked the sand, but he loved playing outside.

oh this is so much fun! love his face on the left picture! what a wonderful page! love the colors and the title and your cluster!
 
Oh my goodness Sarah! I love your page! The photos are just priceless and your clusters shine!! Love love love!
 
I think he will enjoy it more and more. Mine loved playing with trucks and cups etc in the sand.
 
Look at the joy on his face! How precious. The beach elements are perfect for your sandbox layout. Fantastic job on this!
 
Hey Sweetie! Sorry not writing you earlier.
I hope you are all fine? I saw your beautiful layouts and I will come leaving you some love! You scrap too fast for me!:D
We had a bad new this morning, the doctor calls my mom and me for the results of biopsy and this is not good, she wants to see my mom tomorrow morning and she wants me to be there too so I'm a little worry and trying to hide to my mom and kiddos of course but this isn't easy. My mom said she thought it was bad but she is often pessimist so I wished she was wrong but well... This is not the case.
N. started hypnosis session last Saturday to help her with her OCD and it seems to help but I'm worry with her reaction now. We celebrate Mother's day last weekend but it seems strange for my sis and me and my dad takes the news really bad so it's not easy. I try to stay positive but I admit I feel lost.
Sorry for this venting Sweetie, you are the only person I can tell this!:wub:
I truly hope you are all fine!
I'm so proud of Finn for his first steps, he was really ready, this such a wonderful milestone! He grows so much again but always so so so cute!:)
I'm send ing you all tons of love and hugs from your french friends!:wub: :wub: :wub:
I'm coming back later or probably tomorrow!:)
 
Oh no, sweetie! I am so so so sorry to read the bad news. I wish the doctor had some better news for your mom.
And I am so sorry to read your dad is taken the news not in a good way. It must be hard on him as well. It must be hard on all of you!
Lots and lots and lots of hugs. :wub:
Ugh! I wish I could do more.

How did the appointment this morning go? How are her chances? When do they start treatment?
Really crossing my fingers for her.

I can totally understand that you feel lost. I hope you have a good doctor in the hospital who helps you through this process. Who tells you what and how and why and every question you might have.

Feel free to vent to me any time you like!
I am here for you! :wub:

Glad to read the hypnosis session of N. was good and it helped her. I cross my fingers that it continues to help her. And I cross my fingers that she can process the news of your mom. It must not be easy on your kids as well.
Oh sweetie... I wish you had better news. But don't give up hope. Lots of people can heal after the diagnosis. Don't give up the fight. Try to stay a little positive. It will help your mom.

Yeah, Finn is unstopable now. It is fun to see. He brings so much joy.

Sending you lots and lots and lots of hugs and positive thoughts. Your mom is never out of my thoughts.
Lots of love from all of us. :wub: :wub: :wub:
 
Sweetie, Thank you so much for your support and your kind words, it means the world to me and I'm so grateful to have you as friend! I'm sorry again to write you and telling all and vent but you helps me a lot! Talking about it with you helps me a lot my sweet friend so Thank you again so much for your HUGE help!:wub:
My mom is also super thankful, she keeps told me you are a nice person (and still fan of Finn of course!:p)
To tell you some news, we saw the doctor that we know here's. She explains us very quietly that one nodes was a tumor. But she is going to have surgery in the two breasts because they prefer to remove all in case off.
Now she is waiting June 23 to have an appointment with the hospital doctor to explain her of is the surgery and after the surgery they will decide what treatment she will have.
From all we knows the service is well and they seems really pro so we are confidents. Our doctor from here told us it was important to stay positive. Then she had her doctor from Paris (because we don't manage to have a doctor referent here's) he told her that all is going to be ok. Now she is a little less negative but she finds it's very long.
I feel lost at some moments but most of the time I keep hope and stay positive!:)
We are waiting now but I know she will be care at the right time.
Kids were sick sunday night and stay at home 2 days unfortunately. It's so hot here's we wonder if they don't catch kind of cold with the fans and nearly 30 degrees in the bedroom!:(

I see Finn is doing a lot of progress! This is so cool! You must be so proud!!!! Hahaha I guess he is unstoppable now! This is a funny time, he is going to explore all the place he wants and you will have an eye on him all the time lol! He seems so happy!:D
I saw your beautiful layouts and find them all so beautiful my friend!:wub:
I love the swimming pool story, O was very septical the first time too. He played around lol.
Do you have hot weather too? I guess yes. Is it Father's day on Sunday?
Are you planning something?
We don't forget you either sweet friends and we think of you a lot!
Lot's of hugs and love from all of us to all of you!:wub:
 
Hi sweetie

Thank you so much for writing me and keeping me up to date.
Such scary times for your mom. But I agree... trying to stay positive is key.
I am sorry your mom is needing to have surgery, but I think they can better be safe than sorry. Like you said... what if...?
So after the 23rd, you will know when she will have surgery?
I am just happy to read she can be helped and they tell her that everything is going to be ok. I think the only thing you can do is trust on the doctors judgement.
But I totally understand that both of you and your sister are scared sometimes and that it is hard sometimes to stay positive.

So sorry to read the kids were sick.
How are they now? Are they feeling better now?
Temperatures are a little better here now. We had over 30 degrees in the weekend and the beginning of the week, but it's now 27 or 28 degrees. Much better. I can feel the difference.

Yeah, Finn is unstoppable. It's hard to keep up with him. He makes a mess out of everything. He is faster making a mess than I can clean it up. Lol. But it is a fun age.
He is starting to talk. We can understand some of the things he tries to say. It's so much fun.

He hasn't been in the swimming pool any more. It was too hot in my mom her garden.

We had Father's day last weekend (the 11th). I know, in most places, Father's day is next weekend, but not in Belgium apprently. We didn't do anything special. Malouke made a little gift. And we just relaxed. It was too hot to go outside.

We had a rough week as well.
My grandfather is in the hospital. Super weird story and we don't know what to think or to believe.
In the elderly home he is staying, they said he fell. He doesn't remember, but he was sitting next to the toilet when they found him. He couldn't walk, so they took him for x-ray to the hospital. Their they discovered he had bronchitis. This was Sunday. He is still in the hospital. He gets antibiotics, but he also has lung cancer. We went to visit him yesterday and he was coughing really bad. It lasted nearly 30 minutes. It is so sad to see. I cried a lot.

Anyway... you can vent to me any time. I try to answer as soon as possible.
Lots and lots and lots of hugs and love.
We think of you and your family! :wub:
