Dear Cindy and Lynda,
Thanks for your hugs and prayers.
It is now mid afternoon on Wednesday here, Monday was an Australia Day public holiday so the girls went back / first started school on Tuesday.
( I think depending on where you are in the US our time difference can be between 13 - 18 hours or more especially now as we have daylight savings. We are 1/2 behind Australian Eastern Standard Daylight Savings Time!)
Tiani loves her teacher and was really looking forward to going back to school, she is such a beautiful child, helping Mikari to get ready and Im sure good for Mikari to know that her big sister was on campus too. Aside from a lil emotion whilst getting ready Mikari was happy to get underway for her first day. Mikari's teacher Tiani had a few years back and he is the sweetest young man, thus she already knew him as well that he plays organ and runs the choir at our church. A few years back someone kindly donated an organ to the school and he has it in his classroom, so I was secretly hoping Mikari would be in his class as she just loves to sing etc. And a few years back when Tiani was in his class Mikari would learn all these songs from her that Tiani learnt in his classroom.
So when I picked up the girls he was sure to tell me that Mikari had a wonderful day, and she was singning on the way home in the car, "Thank you God for the gifts of creation...." And Tiani was happy, she joins the school choir this year and they only have reading to do and no other homework this week!
Also Mathew had Tuesday off so it was nice for us all to mark this special day altogether.
Mathew was able to have some "boy" time with Jesse later at Kindergym.
Some schools dont go back until next week and so our full calendar has not started yet, hospital programmes, appointments etc., but Im most looking forward to a special music/dance class I found for Jesse which we will start 11 Feb along with his new therapy.
Thanks for letting me catch up on my family, I hope all is well with all your children and Craig & Bobby.
Love, hugs, prayers and blessings, Maria. xxxxxxxx

Tell Mikari and Tiaini that I said to have a wonderful day at school and I'm saying extra prayers for them. They are such sweet and beautiful little girls. All your children are beautiful Maria. I know they bring much joy to your life. Anyway, give them hugs and tell them to have lots of fun!
