FIVE YEARS DOWN THE TRACK...

In November 2004 we started the journey to bring a baby home from China ... five years later, in October 2009, we met Isobel Pingqin.
Our little livewire known as Izzy.

Last surgery done

Izzy has now had her second and final surgery. She had the lump removed from the back of her head yesterday and is doing very well.

Only shaved a small amount of hair so bows will continue!!!

9 year old boy!

Ben recently turned 9. First time Izzy has taken notice of birthday candles. Ben doesn't eat much cake so Grandma made a zucchini slice for cake!


Do you like my giraffe dress???

New chair???

Bought a potty to take when we are out and about. Put it in the bathroom, Izzy decided it was better as a chair for watching TV...

Thumb surgery done!

We had our second attempt at surgery for Izzy's thumb today, all went well and we are back home already (although it was an extremely early start).

The challenge is now to keep the bandage on for two weeks without Izzy picking it off, which she started trying straight away.

Izzy turns 2 on Tuesday and is growing up so fast.
She is very excited about her new kitchen (as is Ben!!).

No surgery for Izzy

Izzy was booked in to have her thumb surgery yesterday, we had been admitted and were waiting to go to theatre when the anaesthetist came and told us he was going to cancel her surgery because she has cold.

So annoyed.

Dr says it is bronchitis or asthma, if we can clear her up by next Thursday, she can have her surgery then.

Fingers crossed!
