"never miss an opportunity to encourage and nurture a child - help them to become the best person they can be".

WARNING too, the following pics may be disturbing for some people, these are the shots of Pat's injuries after taking a 9ft drop on his mountainbike last Friday, I took these photos 2 days after it had happened so alot of swelling had already gone down!!!!! I just thank god that Pat was wearing his full faced helmet and body armour, as Tim honestly thought he was dead!!!!!!, but nothing broken at all, just lots of lacerations and bruising, he's one tough nut!!!!!

The elbow that required only 2 stitches,and his very bruised face, glued chin and swollen/split top lip, all his gums were split open too and his front 2 teeth were wobbly, but the dentists xrays show they are still intact :). and the drop he went down, hard to show exactly how steep it is and that big log that Pat is standing on is what he hit with his face/chest!!!!! he's so lucky that he's walking and talking and in one piece, I thank god everynight for saving our son. and I've had a massive cleanup of our house - took just over 2 weeks, but everyroom has been decluttered and reorganised and it feels AWESOME, lots of rubbish/junk to the tip and some more to the op. shop and lots of clothes to the kids cousins, GONE, GONE, GONE, love it. So to celebrate I scrapped a page today, orginally I started this for a Savvy challenge, but didn't get it finished in time (I was on a mission), so now it's done using lots of the new Prima loveliness from SnB, and I totally lifted this from an idea I saw on the web, somewhere, oneday!!!!!!!
So I'll get in early and say HAPPY EASTER to everyone. Stay safe and drive carefully if you're going away this weekend :) and enjoy whatever it is you're up too.
